Fr. Joachim Kenney was born and raised in Louisville, Kentucky. He is from a family of five children and grew up in the Dominican parish of St. Louis Bertrand. In 2009, he graduated from the University of Louisville with a Bachelor’s degree in accounting.  “I’m a Dominican because the common sense realism that marks the Thomistic approach to the world and to the faith has brought me into a liberating encounter with the truth.””
