Br. Stephen Schober (1931-1978)

Brother Stephen Schober passed away August 28, 1978.

Jim Schober came to St. Benedict’s College in 1949 and entered the community as a lay brother in 1950, and as Brother Stephen, made first vows July 11, 1951. Except for two years of graduate studies at the Catholic University of America, Brother Stephen taught mathematics and physics at St. Benedict’s College and later at Benedictine College. 

Brother Stephen served faithfully as the Abbey Infirmarian and for many years as one of the principal cantors at the Abbey liturgies.  His mother and brothers from Chicago frequently visited him, thereby helping to enliven the Abbey community.
