Biographical / Historical
Father Louis Albert Hinnebusch, O.P. was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on November 15, 1911, the second son of a family so numerous that four sons became Dominican priests, and four daughters became professed Sisters of the Dominican Congregation of St. Mary of the Springs (Columbus, OH). Father Hinnebusch was professed in the Convent of St. Rose, Springfield, Kentucky, August 26, 1932. After the completion of his theological studies he was assigned to parish ministry in the parish of the Most Holy Name, Kansas City, Missouri, in the Most Holy Rosary parish in Minneapolis, Minnesota, and then in the Convent of St. Anthony, New Orleans, Louisiana. The Most Excellent and Reverend Archbishop of New Orleans appointed him as Director or Promotor of the Holy Name Society for the whole archdiocese. He devoted much time and great energy in properly administering this office. Father Hinnebusch devoted his final years exclusively to this task with splendid results. While journeying to an official meeting of the Society, he suffered a stroke, and not long afterwards he died in New Orleans, in the Hotel Dieu Hospital, on March 10, 1958.
