New Abbot Primate

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.
