ALMA MATER

Williams College

Fr. Albert Dempsey was born and raised in Rochester, NY.  He grew up in a Catholic family attending Our Lady of Victory parish.  He studied biology and classics at Williams College in Massachusetts and entered the Order of Preachers shortly after graduating.  “I was attracted to the Dominicans by its form of life, which combines the fraternal, contemplative life of the cloister with zealous engagement with the world for the salvation of souls.  I also admire the Order’s strong intellectual tradition, which seems to offer an ideal antidote to many of the errors of modernity.”
