Fr. Shawn brings a spirit of compassion, wisdom, and unwavering dedication to his vital role among us. His presence assures us that our spiritual needs will be lovingly attended to—whether through prayer, guidance, mentorship, or discernment.
As Postulants and Fully Professed Brothers and Sisters, you can confidently turn to Fr. Shawn in times of spiritual challenge, knowing he will walk with you, offering support and encouragement rooted in faith.
His leadership not only nurtures our individual journeys but also strengthens our communal life under the guidance of our Abbot, Bishop James Long, OSB, OCR.
