The history of monasticism is as colorful as the abbots that have written it. Look to any flourishing abbey throughout history and you will find an abbot dedicated to its care.
The growth, the strength, and the indomitable joy that marks life at St. Michael's Abbey is the fruit of Abbot Eugene's leadership over the past three decades. And so, it is in a spirit of deep gratitude that we dedicate this year's Gala to celebrating the selfless and steadfast stewardship of our abbot, Eugene, who is now marking his thirtieth and final year as captain of this holy vessel of souls.
Over the past three decades, our community has received incalculable grace. We have witnessed extraordinary growth in vocations that continues to this day. We have found a new and (God willing!) a lasting home. We dared to build a church that honors the splendor of Our Lady and the might of Her Son, Our Lord.
Amidst the very real trials that beset the Church and our society, this is a moment of triumph.
Because of this legacy, we are afforded the opportunity to look toward the future with courage and ironclad faith. We have great cause to give thanks, and even greater cause for hope. We hope that you will join us for this historic celebration.
