Prior Edward Seton Fittin, OSB attended the annual Priors' Workshop in St. Leo Abbey, Florida from November 9-12. Priors from across North America come together each year to discuss topics of mutual concern. The prior is the second in command to the abbot in Benedictine monasteries and generally is responsible for the daily operations of the monastery. The guest speaker at the workshop was Abbot Cuthbert Brogan, of Farnborough Abbey in England. Fr. Edward reports that Abbot Cuthbert spoke on a variety of topics "common to all monks,priors, abbots and addressed with wisdom from the RB and monastic spirituality, to a mostly seasoned group of priors!"
