Monastery Museum in Teutopolis
2025-06-01
PrintThe Teutopolis Monastery Museum celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. There are 38 small rooms of displays open to visitors on Sunday, June 1.
The hours are from 12:30 to 4:00 p.m. We recommend you come early to see the many unique and interesting articles on display. Admission for adults is $5.00 and $1.00 for children.
The Museum is located on the second floor in the former Franciscan Novitiate building, which is located behind St. Francis Church in Teutopolis. An elevator is available for visitors who have difficulty with stairs.
Besides its collection of articles used by the Franciscan Friars, the Museum is also known for Bibles and books in different languages, some from the 1700’s. The “pioneer wing” features items used by early Teutopolis pioneers, including furniture, clocks, quilts, toys, and various household and grocery store items. These articles are on display in the former “cells” or bedrooms of the Novices. Volunteers are available along the tour to explain the displays and assist visitors.
Also open to visitors are the basement where many small farm tools are displayed, the Mausoleum where 79 Franciscan Friars are interred, and St. Francis Church, with stained glass windows depicting events in the life of St. Francis of Assisi.
New this year: Folk art carvings of Ferd Metten will also be on display. Ferd was a member of St. Francis Parish, a farmer, and self-taught artist. His dioramas and smaller carvings reflect pioneer and farm life, his Catholic faith, and remembrances from his youth. He also made vases, bowls, and lanterns with sliced walnut shells. Over 20 of his works of art will be on loan from the Tarble Art Center, Eastern Illinois University, and displayed in the Sr. Ethelbert Center behind St. Francis Church.
Special group tours for adults or school groups can be arranged on days other than the scheduled Sunday openings. Call 217-961-6404 ext. 236, leave a message and the call will be returned. Regular, scheduled museum opening dates are the first Sunday of the months of April through November, except holidays.
For more information go to the parish website: stfrancischurch.com or to the town’s website at Teutopolis.com and click on “Our Community”. Follow us on Facebook this year as we recall the beginnings of the Museum in 1975-76.

Effingham County FISH Fund Drive
2025-06-01
PrintOn June 1, Effingham County FISH celebrated 55 years of serving Effingham County residents. In 2020, FISH planned to raise $50,000 for 50 years, however Covid had other plans. Therefore, in 2025, FISH is striving to raise $55,000 for 55 years.
FISH is an all-volunteer, non-profit organization, whose mission is to elevate the quality of life for those among us in need in Effingham County.

Like every other organization, FISH is experiencing higher costs on everything. Therefore, a dollar does not go as far as it used to, plus they’re serving a higher number of people.

Your gift may be sent to: Effingham County FISH, PO Box 473, Effingham, lL 62401, or by using the PayPal QR code below. No gift is too small, every dollar counts.
