It is sponsored by the seminary’s Institute for Priests and Presbyterates, and is part of its Gregorian Lectures in Priestly Spirituality series.
Father Vincent, a monk of Saint Meinrad Archabbey in St. Meinrad, earned a licentiate in sacred theology at the Gregorian Pontifical University in Rome. He has taught courses at Saint Meinrad, the Gregorian and the Pontifical Liturgical Institute, also in Rome.
A sought-after retreat master and spiritual director, Father Vincent is the manager of the Archabbey Guest House and Retreat Center.
