The first time I met Helen Hull Hitchcock was when we appeared together on EWTN’s Theology Roundtable program in 2011. Along with host Colin Donovan and my friend Father Douglas Martis, we discussed the potential of the newly promulgated Roman Missal. Helen had worked intensely for years on making the Roman Missal translation a reality.

In July 2023, the former guest master of our Archabbey Church, Benedictine Father Sean Hoppe, asked me to cover his duties for all of August because he was going to Tanzania. Part of the church guest master’s job at St. Meinrad Archabbey is to welcome guests, distribute worship aids, and, when necessary, remind guests to recite and sing softly when praying, so as not to disrupt the monastic community’s pace.
