Fr. Bryan Kromholtz, OP

Beginning on All Saints' Day, Fr. Bryan Kromholtz, OP, was at Santa Sabina in Rome, the headquarters of the Order of Preachers, for a week-long meeting of the Order's nine-member Permanent Commission for the Promotion of Studies . This international group of Dominican friars advises the Master of the Order on matters related to the intellectual life of the Order. Fr. Bryan represents the Regents of Studies from the USA and Canada. One of his assigned tasks is to help with the revision of the Order's ratio studiorum generalis , its plan of studies for the friars.
