As the first alumnus-monk of St. Louis Abbey and the school’s first alumnus-headmaster, Father Gregory has had a lifelong relationship with the abbey family. As his mother recalls, the moment he was born his father called the Prior to enroll him in the school. He discerned his call to be a monk while still a student at the Priory School—a call he would answer only after he had tested it thoroughly at the University of Pennsylvania.

As Headmaster of the school, Father Gregory works to strengthen the school’s religious formation and Benedictine character, while increasing demand and enrollment, and maintaining its rigorous academic standards. He teaches courses in theology and English at the school.
