BELMONT — The Benedictine monks of Belmont Abbey in Belmont welcomed their newest monk July 11, on the feast of St. Benedict.
Brother Leo Young, O.S.B., made his first profession of monastic vows before Abbot Placid Solari and the community.
His pastor, Father Brian Cook of St. Leo the Great Church in Winston-Salem, attended the profession, as well as several priests of the Diocese of Charlotte.
Brother Leo, formerly Sean Young, is the son of Thomas and Mary Beth Young.
