Catholic University of America

Brother Pius Henry was born in Reading, Massachusetts. He attended Reading Memorial High School and had the opportunity to travel to South America three times with his home parish on mission trips where he had the opportunity to work with the poor. After high school he proceeded to The Catholic University of America to study theology. While there he encountered the Order of Preachers through classes taught by Dominicans. Inspired by the Thomistic tradition and the clear presentation that was rooted in a deep contemplative prayer life he entered the order in 2019. “Having received the fruits of Dominican preaching and teaching the Holy Spirit led me to the order so as to cooperate in the Dominican charism of preaching for the salvation of souls and to give to others what I myself have been so blessed to receive.”
