After a high-powered legal career and dreams about marrying his girlfriend at the time, Father Dominic Legge’s vocation story all started with complete surrender to the will of God.
From shaping future priests and scholars at the Dominican House of Studies to leading the Thomistic Institute, Father Dominic Legge has dedicated his priesthood to bringing intellectual depth and clarity to the Catholic faith.
