New Rector at St. Anthony of Padua

On Sunday, November 19, the Provincial Superior, Canon Matthew Talarico visited our Oratory to oversee a transition of clergy. As announced several weeks ago, Canon Brian Bovee, our longest serving Rector, would be going into semi-retirement in the Cleveland metropolitan area. Our faithful Abbé Francis Bennell, clerical oblate of the Institute for 15 years, will be departing with Canon to accompany him in this time.
