"…and what brought you to Saint Meinrad?"

When you have a connection to Saint Meinrad - whether as a monk, student, co-worker or oblate - one question often arises: What first brought you here?

Our podcast team from "Echoes from the Bell Tower" opens this new set of episodes with just that question. Hosts Br. Joel Blaize, OSB, and Br. Kolbe Wolniakowski, OSB, discover the stories behind how people find their way to Saint Meinrad.

Featured in the first of this two-part episode are:

• Monks Fr. Denis Robinson and Fr. Christian Raab

• Alumnus Fr. William Burmester

• Oblates and students Ginger Thomas and Crystal White

• And co-workers Mike Gramelspacher and Tammy Becht.

Included in this blog post is a podcast extra. In this 2-minute interview, Fr. Denis Quinkert explains how he first came to Saint Meinrad - then left for another abbey and came back a few years ago!
