The general chapter at Saint Benedict’s Abbey in Atchison, Kansas elected a new Abbot President for the congregation June 23. Br. Benedict congratulated Fr Jonathan Licari of St. John’s Abbey who was elected.

Br. Denys and Br. Benedict returned June 7 from their two-week pilgrimage to the Holy Land. They also took a side trip to Holland for a couple of days to visit a monastery and the birthplace of Br. Benedict’s father. The pilgrimage was part of the theology course Br. Denys is taking at St. John’s Abbey.
