From early in my life I knew that I wanted to serve God as a Priest. I was accepted to attend seminary at Belmont Abbey and became a Benedictine, something my Father had predicted. I made my first profession in 1960. It was a great day, the greatest day of my life. I was ordained a priest in June of 1961. I came to Benedictine to teach French and typing the next year. I was privileged to be elected Abbot in 1989.
