50 YEARS: Fr. Mark celebrates 50 years as a Priest

50 YEARS!!!!!: Our monastic confrere, Fr. Mark Stengel, was ordained a priest on June 9, 1972. Over the course of years, he has devoted himself to service as: a missionary in Belize, an Academy dean and faculty member, an Oblate Director, Formation Director, and many other house positions assigned by the Abbot and too numerous to count. Today Fr. Mark is assigned as the Pastor of St. Benedict parish at Subiaco, AR. The parish hosted a wonderful 50th anniversary celebration for Fr. Mark's years of service as a priest. We monks are very proud of the monastic witness and perseverance in his vows that Fr. Mark has shown. We pray you continue for many more years in God's faithful service as a monastic priest. Happy Anniversary! UIOGD!
