Deo gratias! Abbot Gregory Polan of Conception Abbey has been elected in Rome the Abbot Primate of Benedictine Confederation. According to the proper law of the Order of St. Benedict, the Abbot Primate “is to represent the Confederation and to do all he can to foster cooperation between the confederated monasteries.”
Our own Abbot Richard and Abbot President Elias participated in the election during the Congress of Abbots, which concludes in Rome next week. Prayers, best wishes and fraternal support to our new Abbot Primate!
Ad multos annos!
