Many people get confused about monks and priests.
All of us here who are members of Saint John's Abbey are monks. But not all monks are priests. Some of us, after becoming monks, study for the priesthood and are ordained. Usually non-ordained monks are called brothers and ordained monks are called father. But in reality we are all equal, priest or brother.
