Father Gilbert Stack O.S.B.

I was a volunteer at Bethlehem in 72, and travelled and assisted Father with his tour to the Holy Land & Rome with Father that year. I will never forget the morning masses at Bethelehem, Christmas eve in the Cave, the retreats, being a cave guide, the quiet time at the edge of the canyon, Father's wise counsel, & Mrs. Roger's food. Father was always a man on a mission, always had a new project, and could drive down that treacherous dirt road in his old Oldsmobile with NASCAR agility. Both he...

My children were baptized by Father Gilbert at Bethlehem in the cave when my brother was a volunteer. My condolences to the family. Father is certainly with God in heaven. My prayers are with you.

I was one of the volunteers in the summer of 68. Returned after graduating high school in 69, stayed for 1 1/2 years.
Father Gilbert, you may now be with God, you're gone from the earth, but will never be forgotten.
My prayers to the remainder of the family
