The monastery was named after the patron saint of Pauline monks, who previously stayed in the church in the same place and later went to Hungary. Four hundred years ago the monastery was like an infirmary and there they cared for people with plague, and therefore still an island with his name Galevac or Shkoljich is sometimes called Lazaret.
The monastery once had a famous printing house where Croatian patriotic texts were printed with the help of the Croatian revivalist Ivo Prodan. After the First World War, the printing house had to be relocated due to Italian rule at the time, but later returned and operated for decades. Unfortunately, after the Second World War, Tito's pertizans destroyed the printing house, but its remains still remain on the territory of the monastery. Ivo Prodan himself was buried in the cemetery next to the monastery.
