During the month of May, RosaryMen members will be focusing intentions on vocations. We are taking this month to have a weekly guest leader who can help promote vocations. Below are the following leaders:
Augustine Wetta is a monk of Saint Louis Abbey in Saint Louis Missouri. He has two degrees in Theology from Oxford University, a BA in Ancient Mediterranean Civilizations from Rice University, and an MA in English from Middlebury College. He writes for Our Sunday Visitor, and hosts a blog entitled “Disagreement” with Islamic social activist Umar Lee, and frequently appears on EWTN and Saint Joseph Radio.
Mother Seraphina Marie, fdm is the Community Servant of the Franciscan Daughters of Mary from Covington, KY. They are pro-life sisters, founded to uphold the dignity of every human person from the moment of conception until natural death. The way they live this out is through their apostolate, the Rose Garden Home Mission, the first fully Catholic Pregnancy Care Center in Northern KY, giving moral and material support to Moms in need, the only no-questions-asked local Food Pantry, where neighbors can receive food each day the Mission is open, and the Rose Garden Center for Hope & Healing, Northern KY’s first Free Medical & Dental Clinic.
Born in Berlin, NH, he entered the Dominican Order in 1985 and was ordained to the priesthood in 1991. He holds a doctorate in Church History, and has spent most of his priestly life teaching, both at Providence College and at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. Immediately before coming to St. Gertrude, he served as President of the Pontifical Faculty at the Dominican House of Studies for seven years.
Father Chris Alar, MIC, is the Provincial Superior of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy Province of the Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception in the United States and Argentina. He wrote and produced the popular “Divine Mercy 101” and “Explaining the Faith” DVD series and is the author of the bestselling books After Suicide: There’s Hope for Them and for You, as well as Understanding Divine Mercy.
Fr. Leo Patalinghug is a priest member of a community of consecrated life, Voluntas Dei (The Will of God). He is the founder of Plating Grace, an international food and faith movement, and is also a bestselling author and host of the EWTN show Savoring Our Faith. Fr. Leo’s background as a chef, black belt martial arts instructor, and award-winning break dancer and choreographer caught the eye of the Food Network, where he won Throwdown! with Bobby Flay. He sees food as a gift from God that nourishes your family, strengthens relationships, and makes this world a better place, one meal at a time.
