Fr. Jonah Teller was born in Cincinnati, OH, and grew up attending St. Gertrude Parish. He graduated from the University of Dallas with a Bachelor’s degree in English. Fr. Jonah is the second of seven children. “While visiting the House of Studies on a ‘Come and See’ weekend, I was really affected by the vitality and joy of the brethren; that zeal played an important role in guiding me to the Dominicans.”
Fr. Jonah is a member of the band The Hillbilly Thomists. With Fr. Andrew Hofer he has composed two devotionals: Nine Days with St. Joseph and Nine Days with St. Michael. He is also a regular contributor to Magnificat. At present he serves as parochial vicar at St. Joseph’s Church in New York City.
