Michael Dubruiel places Fr. William Wagner, of Opus Angelorum, at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Georgia, 20 years ago. (See post on Tuesday, January 28, 2003):

I met Father Wagner many years ago (over 20) at the Monastery of the Holy Spirit in Georgia. It is interesting to see that they have a house in Detroit. I wonder if any readers have visited it or are familiar with the work of this community.
