Dom Peter McCarthy, abbot of O.L. of Guadalupe (diocese of Portland in Oregon, USA) since 1994, presented his resignation to the Abbot General for the reasons mentioned in ST 40.A of the Constitutions. The Abbot General, with the consent of his Council, accepted the resignation which became effective on March 9th 2025.

On March 27th 2025, the community of Guadalupe postulated as Abbot for an indefinite term, Father Scott Dilworth. A dispensation from Cst 39.3 (number of years of solemn profession) was granted by the Holy See and the election was confirmed. The installation of the new abbot took place on March 28th.

Dom Scott was born in 1973 in Livonia, Michigan (USA). He entered Guadalupe in 2013, made his solemn profession in 2021 and was ordained a priest in 2023. At the time of his election, he was prior of the community.
