Fr John Bernard is a priest assigned to Holy Cross Priory, Leicester, and is the Promotor of Dominican Young Adults. He first encountered the Dominicans while studying Classics at Oxford, and entered the noviciate in 2018. An attraction to religious life initially grew out of time spent working with the Missionaries of Charity, which then crystallised into a Dominican vocation through a desire to integrate the contemplative life with preaching and study.
