HANCEVILLE, Alabama — Bill Brown, a former parishioner at St. Dorothy Church in Lincolnton, has been named director of administration for the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament at Our Lady of the Angels Monastery. He is the first lay person to hold this role at the shrine, founded by Mother Angelica of EWTN fame.

Brown has over 40 years of leadership in executive roles and has extensive management experience. He is dedicated to the shrine’s mission of Eucharistic Adoration and eager to imbue it into every aspect of the shrine’s daily operations.

“My wife Cindy and I love the Poor Clare Sisters, the Franciscan Friars and this most beautiful and holy place,” he said. “We are thrilled to have the opportunity to serve our Eucharistic Lord and His devoted servants in this way at this important time. As the U.S. bishops open the first year of the National Eucharistic Revival, we believe that this special place can and should play a key role in rekindling the fire of Eucharistic devotion in our struggling world.”

The Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament, located on 400 acres in rural Alabama, draws hundreds of thousands of pilgrims seeking a place of rest and renewal of faith in Christ. Learn more at www.olamshrine.com.
