Abbot Michael Reepen of Münsterschwarzach Abbey, Germany, is visiting Christ the King Priory from December 4 to 9. The abbey is the motherhouse of the priory which in turn is dependent on it. Abbot Michael is paying a pastoral visit to his monks here. He takes time to meet with each member of the community and listen to the community as a whole. There are other monks from the abbey in various programs in the USA and he will visit them also. In this way Abbot Michael can provide spiritual guidance and encouragement for all his monks in the USA.
