Vows for Br. Finnbar McEvoy and Br. William McMillan
In March, the Abbey community celebrated a first profession of vows as well as a renewal of vows. Br. Finnbar McEvoy made his first profession of vows in the presence of Abbot Richard, the monks of St. Mary’s Abbey, and the students and
faculty of Delbarton School on Monday, March 22. Br. Finnbar is now a junior monk and has already begun teaching physics at Delbarton. Br. William McMillan, who made his first profession in 2018, renewed his vows when they expired on March
21. Br. William has renewed his vows for one year as he continues to discern his call to monastic life. Br. William has been teaching English and coaching middle school baseball.
