Biography
Fr. Benedict Tighe was a Benedictine monk of Mount Saviour Monastery in Pine City, New York, at the time of writing to Merton. Born Francis James Tighe, he took Benedict in religion. In 1966, he took a sabbatical and served as chaplain on military bases in Europe. He decided not to return to the Benedictines and served the rest of his years as a parish priest in Connecticut. He was honored as a monsignor in 1991 by Pope John Paul II. (Source: "Msgr. Benedict Tighe, served at St. Mary’s". The Ridgefield Press. Obituaries. Online from Hersam Acorn Newspapers. 17 Oct 2004.
