Msgr. Hillenbrand's three-part approach of faithfully presenting papal teaching, calling lay apostles, and bringing laity through the Catholic liturgy to social action, helped form US Catholic leadership prior to the Second Vatican Council, which his liturgical innovations during the Liturgical reforms of Pope Pius XII anticipated.[10]
Hillenbrand Books,[12] published by The Liturgical Institute at the University of Saint Mary of the Lake / Mundelein Seminary, in collaboration with Liturgy Training Publications, is a scholarly book series named in Hillenbrand's honor. A Reynold Hillenbrand Institute was based in Chicago's archdiocesan college seminary from 1992–94, moved to the University of Saint Mary of the Lake, and closed at the approximate time of the founding of the Liturgical Institute there in 2000. A Hillenbrand lecture series continues at the Liturgical Institute, most recently presented by Denver Archbishop Charles Joseph Chaput on
June 24, 2010.[13]
