Best Answer

The head monk in a monastery in the Catholic Church would be the Abbot. A recent foundation, or a dependent monastery may only have a prior as its head. Whereas in a big monastery the prior would be the second in charge after the Abbot. If the monastery is big enough there would also be a subprior.
