It is with the greatest sadness and offering our most heartfelt condolences to his parents and siblings, Abbot Marcus and the monks of St. Bernard Abbey must announce the death of our confrère, Brother Marion Sanchez, OSB.
Br. Marion passed from time to eternity yesterday at the rectory of the Catholic parish in Milaca, Minnesota, where he had been assisting these last few months. A native of LaSalle, Illinois, Br. Marion entered St. Bernard Abbey in 2012. He served with great success as director of the retreat center and of the Ave Maria Grotto, forged strong relationships between the abbey and the municipal community of Cullman, and brought humor and life to any occasion.
Br. Marion, previously known as Daniel Sanchez, was on TEC #163, 166, & 168.
