On Tuesday, July 11th, the Feast of St. Benedict, the monastic community of Belmont Abbey in Belmont, North Carolina, celebrated the profession of solemn vows by Brother Leo Young, O.S.B. The celebration occurred during the regularly scheduled 11 AM daily Mass at The Basilica of Mary Help of Christians. The Mass was open to the public and the Belmont Abbey College community. The occasion was one of joy, with standing room only in the Basilica. Abbot Placid Solari concelebrated the Mass alongside 12 priests and several seminarians, who joined the community for this wonderful event. Having entered the community in March of 2018 as a postulant, Brother Leo now joins the monks at Belmont Abbey as a full member of the Benedictine community. Congratulations, Brother Leo!
