The following is a list of monks of our Congregation who completed their earthly life between

October 31, 2018 and October 31, 2019. Their names are placed here to encourage the living

members of our Congregation to remember prayerfully our confreres who have preceded us into

eternity.

“Once a month, or twelve times in a year, every monk shall offer the holy Sacrifice of the Mass,

according to his own participation in the one priesthood of Christ, for the monks recently

deceased as well as for all the departed of the Congregation.” (Covenant of Peace, C 88)
