Br. Barnabas Maria Wilson was born and raised in Sharon, PA and is the older of two. He received a bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Dayton. After graduating he worked in the paper industry, living for a time in Wisconsin and Illinois before entering the Order in 2022. “Realizing the depth and beauty of the Church’s intellectual tradition was instrumental in the formation of my faith. This faith has drawn me to be where Christ is, and I encountered Him in the life formulated by St. Dominic. Christ is here in our studies, among us in communal life, and is especially present to us in the Blessed Sacrament.”
