Miscellaneous Notes
|
| At the abbey in 1977 Father Bartholomew began the Schola Gregoriana that he also directed. The schola helped to preserve the ancient tradition of Gregorian Chant sung by Benedictine monks. He generously made himself available to teach chant as an independent study for students. He participated regularly in the Chant Study Week sponsored by the National Pastoral Musicians Association. He reveled in the annual visits from 1948 to 1986 of the Metropolitan Opera that performed at Northrop Auditorium in Minneapolis. From 1982 to 1992 he was secretary to the abbey's Senior Council and also helped in the liturgy office from 1987 to 1993. In 1994 he celebrated 50 years as a Benedictine monk and in 1998 he celebrated his 50th anniversary of priesthood. (2006) |
