Ordained in 2002 for the Diocese of Lafayette (Louisiana), Fr. Guilbeau entered the Dominican novitiate in 2005 and professed his simple vows in 2006. Before joining the Order, Fr. Guilbeau obtained his Master of Divinity and Master of Arts degrees from St. John's Seminary in Boston, and a Licentiate in Sacred Theology (Patristic Theology) from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome. In the fall of 2010, having completed three years of parochial ministry at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in New York City, Fr. Guilbeau began doctoral studies in fundamental moral theology at the University of Fribourg in Switzerland.

In the coming months, two new books by Friars of the Province of St. Joseph will be made available to eager readers.
First, Gregorian and Biblical Press will soon release a short work in moral theology by Fr. James Quigley, O.P., who teaches homiletics at the Pontifical North American College in Rome. Entitled Living Well: Meditations on the Virtues, the book has received the strong endorsement of Archbishop Augustine DiNoia, O.P., also a member of the Province and currently the Secretary of the Congregation for Divine Worship:
"A strong Dominican and Thomistic theological senstivity make this fine book at once sublime and practical. Responding to a deep contemporary longing for a Christian spirituality of personal development and interior transformation, Fr. Quigley focuses his attention on the theology of grace and the virtues. Young adults readers especially will find his positive approach to the moral life attractive and refreshing, and all readers will find in this book encouragement and inspiration."
Second, The Seven Last Word of Jesus by Fr. Romanus Cessario, O.P., has been out for over a year now, but recently it has been translated into Chinese and will soon be available to our brothers and sisters in the Far East. To obtain a copy, click here.
