On this episode of Always a Raven, host Janelle Menz welcomes Father Meinrad Miller, a 1989 graduate of Benedictine College, to share his journey from discerning student to beloved priest and monk at Saint Benedict's Abbey — reflecting on how his time at Benedictine deepened his calling and set the foundation for a vocation rooted in prayer, community, and service.

Father Meinrad shares stories from a life well-lived in the Church — from celebrating sacraments and serving as state chaplain for the Knights of Columbus, to traveling with the Missionaries of Charity in Washington D.C. and Calcutta — offering candid wisdom that it doesn't take an hour of prayer to encounter God, just a willing heart and the faith of a mustard seed.

Beyond his travels and ministries, Father Meinrad's greatest joy remains right on campus, where he teaches Benedictine spirituality and witnesses students finding their way to Christ year after year — proof that the mission of Benedictine College lives on in the monks and mentors who never stopped believing in it.
