Father Ambrose Bennett is a native of Soccoro, New Mexico, and was educated at an Episcopal high school, where he learned about the life and writings of Blessed John Henry Newman. It was from Newman's writings, as well as those of other Anglican and Catholic writers, that he learned to appreciate Catholicity as the fullness of Christian truth and was eventually drawn to a monastic vocation. Father Ambrose received his degree in Comparative Literature at Princeton and then entered Saint Louis Abbey, professing solemn vows in 2002 and being ordained to the priesthood in 2008. His extensive study has earned him a license in Sacred Theology with Distinction at Collegio Sant' Anselmo in Rome. He has published articles in This Rock, Touchstone, and The New Oxford Review. He currently teaches theology at Priory School and is also the Monastic Librarian.
