Longest Professed Catholic Monk Dies at 106

Father Angelo Gerhard Zankl OSB, 106, died peacefully in St. Raphael Hall, the retirement center at Saint John's Abbey in Collegeville, MN on Thursday, July 12. Although younger than the oldest monk in North America by a few months, Father Angelo had been a professed Benedictine monk for 86 years -- longer than any other Benedictine monk worldwide.

Let us pray for the repose of his soul: Eternal rest give to him, O Lord. And may perpetual light shine on him. May he rest in peace. Amen.
