Fr. Joseph pre funeral prayers with Br. B praying for Fr. J the day before his burial

Monks of the Holy Trinity Abbey monastery in Huntsville Utah prayer for one of the monks who helped start the monastery in 1947, Fr. Joseph. Among many duties, he was the electrician and for many years ran the dairy. He was a IBM typewriter repairman during WW2 and joined the Trappist Cistercian monastery in KY, later known for their famous monk, Fr. Thomas Merton. Monks will pray all night long for their fellow monk until his funeral mass is said the following morning. After the mass, the monk is buried by his fellow monks outside the monastery church. The monks are of an order that is 900 years old...
