On Saturday, September 15, Abbot Jeremias Schroder, past President of the Saint Ottilien Congregation, was elected Abbot Primate of the Benedictine Confederation. We offer him our prayers and support even as we offer prayers for and gratitude to his outgoing predecessor, Abbot Gregory Polan, of Conception Abbey and our own congregation, as he completes his mandate.

Abbot Justin has served as Abbot of Saint Joseph Abbey since 2001 and recently announced his retirement from that role. The Congregation offers him its prayers and fraternal support, even as it offers gratitude and best wishes to his predecessor, Abbot Vincent Bataille, as he completes his term.
