About the Diekmann Center

The Godfrey Diekmann, OSB Center for Patristics and Liturgical Studies was created to honor the life and work of Godfrey Diekmann, OSB (1908-2002), one of the 46 theologians chosen from around the world to prepare the schema on liturgy during Vatican II (1962-1965). The Diekmann Center seeks to deepen contemporary understanding of the, early Christian theologians of the first through seventh centuries, and to promote the liturgical renewal called for by the Second Vatican Council.  Read more.

An elderly man with short white hair wearing glasses is smiling. He is dressed in a dark suit jacket and appears to be in front of a light-colored wall with a textured surface.
A woman with long dark hair smiles while standing in front of a window with stained glass accents. She is wearing a black blazer over a V-neck blouse and a delicate necklace. The background shows a blurred view of a green tree outside the window.
