Fr. Vincent McNabb O.P., S.T.M. (1868 - 1943)

Fr. McNabb, Irishman, Dominican theologian, preacher, Distributist, social critic, mystic, and man of action, was born in 1868 in Ireland, within a few miles of the rock that covers the bones of St. Patrick. He joined the novitiate of the English Dominicans at Woodchester in Gloucestershire, and was ordained in 1891. After studies at the Louvain, he was sent to England where he spent the rest of his life. “He is,” Chesterton wrote, & one of the few great men I have met in my life.
