A Message from the Abbot of the Monastery of the Holy Spirit

From Abbot Augustine Myslinski, OCSO

We are all saddened by the death of our Holy Father, Pope Francis. For some time, he has courageously dealt with his decline in health, yet he remained very much present to us all. I personally will remember him as a man with a deep, concrete pastoral expression. He was a man of compassion.

May we unite in prayer now around him and his entrance into Eternal Life. May we be all united as a Church as we go forward in electing a successor to our dear Pope Francis.

Peace, Abbot Augustine
