Father Aquinas' Jubilee

We rejoice with Father Aquinas today as he celebrates the 50th anniversary of his priestly ordination. He entered the monastery in 1959, and hrough the years he has held many important positions in the community including prior, subprior, dean of the junior professed, vocation director, and submaster of novices. He currently serves as the Abbey's sacristan.

Father Aquinas says that formed by the Word of God and following the Rule of Saint Benedict, the monk is led to "the Author of Creation in the Beatific Vision."
