On Friday, August 14, 2026, Brother Robert Moises Islas, O.S.B., was received into our community to begin a probationary period before transferring his stability to Saint Anselm Abbey. Brother Robert comes to us from Newark Abbey in Newark, New Jersey. The transfer of stability is mentioned in Chapter 61 of the Rule of Saint Benedict.
Brother Robert took vows as a Benedictine monk in 2020. He currently serves as a Program Coordinator in the Fr. Jonathan Intercultural Center at Saint Anselm College.
