On the passenger manifest he said he was a journalist. I wonder if he was covering this event:
https://www.chicagocatholic.com/chicagoland/-/article/2017/09/06/1926-eucharistic-congress-brings-sense-of-wonder-
There were 11 people on that page of the manifest going to the Auditorium Hotel, including a Roman Catholic priest, a clerk in holy orders, and a teacher whose passage had been paid by the Catholic Touring Association.
----
edited to add:
The passengers on the next page of the manifest are almost all going to the same hotel also, and there are some who say they are going to the Eucharistic Congress. (Images 314 and 315 at the link at familysearch.)

Another source for you - probably repetitive of information you may already have from other sources but I didn't see references on your ancestry tree.

Many thanks for the details of the 1926 trip to America for the Eucharistic Congress in Chicago and thanks to SANDRA for all these additional sources that I have never explored. I shall follow up all these references.
On the Catholic Who's Who, there is a reference to him being a founding member of the "Historical Research Society" and "is Hon. Sec. of Guild of Our Lady of Ransom"
Does the HRS still exist or has it merged with another similar outfit?

It's a tough thing to google, but I did find this reference at the bottom of the first page, but from 1893.

I have no idea if it is still around. I grew up Catholic in the United States and never heard of it, if that is any help. I'm 73.

OLDOHIOHOME.
many thanks for finding this reference to HRS. With this further information, I shall now enquire of the Westminster Diocese archivist as the HRS sounds as if it was a Catholic established initiative to give public lectures rather than to promote serious historical research.
Until your find, I had only one brief mention of HRS in 1987 book 'Opening the Scrolls' [sadly without an index].
