On Monday, March 21st, the Feast of St. Benedict, Holy Face Monastery in Clifton, New Jersey celebrated a new page in its over 60 year history. During his visit to the monastery, a few days before the Feast, our Prior, Fr. Damien Gjonaj, appointed a "new" Superior of the community. Since 2019, the position was held by two monks, Fr. Louis Navaratne and Br. Antony Maldonado. Ideally, there should be only one superior of a religious house and the last 3 years served as a transition period toward having the community be led by one monk. After some deliberations with the monks of Holy Face and much thought and prayer, Fr. Damien chose Br. Antony for the position. Brother was humble and gracious in accepting the responsibility and Father praised him for his courage in taking on the role of leadership. The appointment became official at a ceremony during the morning Mass on the day of the Feast. Please pray for Br. Antony, that the Lord will support him in his role and that together the monks of Holy Face Monastery will continue to glorify the Lord through their monastic witness!.
