Geschiedenis
Dom Hugh McKiernan was a Trappist abbot of Our Lady of the Holy Cross Abbey, in Berryville, Virginia. He was appointed superior of Holy Cross in 1956 and was elected the first abbot of the monastery when it became an independent abbey, serving as abbot from 1958 to 1964. He later transferred his stability to Mount Saviour, a Benedictine monastery near Elmira, New York. Merton met McKiernan in October of 1968 at La Casa de Maria retreat center in Santa Barbara.
