If you know my brother Chrysostom or of him, please take a moment to pray for his community and the respose of the soul of abbot emeritus Fr. Parker who died on Jan 3. When I first came to know the Norbertines, St. Michael's was only a priory and Fr. Abbot Parker was the abbot. I remember him as a strong and quiet man in person and as an orator with a strong voice and a firm purpose at Mass. When he retired, we sometimes jokingly referred to him as "Grandfather Abbot" which I just loved because of the affection that inspired it. Here is a link to the story about his passing and there is a more complete one on EWTN.
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord...
