Fr. Frank was born on March 10, 1941, in Port Huron, Michigan, to Frank Granger Weil and Mary Louise (Karrer) Weil.\u00a0 He was baptized on March 30, 1941. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Stephen Weil, and his sister, Mary Weil Smith.\u00a0 He is survived by his sister, Ann Durand of Port Huron Michigan, his cousin, Fr. David Simpson, O.Carm., other extended family, and Carmelite brothers.<\/p>

Fr. Frank graduated from St. Stephen High School in Port Huron, Michigan, in 1958.\u00a0 He entered Mount Carmel College in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada, the following September, beginning his formation in the Carmelite Order.\u00a0 He professed his simple vows as a Carmelite on August 15, 1961, in New Baltimore, Pennsylvania, his solemn vows on February 10, 1965, in Washington, DC, and was ordained to the priesthood on February 11, 1967, at the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC.<\/p>

Fr. Frank earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Philosophy from St. Bonaventure University, Olean, New York, in 1964, and completed his theology studies at Whitefriars Hall in Washington, DC.\u00a0 He later received a Master of Arts degree in Religious Education from Loyola University, Chicago, in 1973.<\/p>

Following ordination, Fr. Frank served on the faculty of Salpointe Catholic High School in Tucson, Arizona from 1967-1973.\u00a0 During this time he was also engaged in vocation ministry and served as a First Lieutenant in the Air National Guard.<\/p>

Fr. Frank devoted himself increasingly to a contemplative and eremitical vocation.\u00a0 He lived for extended periods as a hermit, particularly in Arizona, and was associated with Elias Desert House and the Zion Carmelite communities in Kansas, Maine, and Arizona.\u00a0 From 1976 -1978, he served as Co-Administrator at St. Boniface Parish in Scipio, Kansas.<\/p>

Continuing his eremitical life in Arizona, he served since 2003 with the Zion Hermit Monks of Mount Carmel in Bowie.\u00a0 His life reflected a sustained commitment to prayer, solitude, and the contemplative dimension of the Carmelite charism.\u00a0 May he rest in peace.<\/p>
