Francis Michael is our Abbot. He is from Philadelphia and entered the Trappist Order here, at Conyers, in 1974. It is an easy date for me to remember because it was the year that I was ordained. We are all blessed with him as our Abbot. He is doing a fine job at a time in history when being an Abbot brings with it a lot of challenges. This picture was taken at a meeting we had with architects who are proposing different possibilities as regards some future projects.
