Pro Player Leaves Baseball to Enter Monastery
"I love the game, but I aspire to higher things."

Grant Desme
Grant Desme, a top prospect for the Oakland A's, announced this week that he is leaving his promising career in baseball to enter religious life. It's not spelled out clearly in the article, but it appears that Desme will enter the Norbertine novitiate at St. Michael's Abbey in California.
The St. Michael's Norbertines are familiar to many Dominican Friars around the world. In recent years, St. Michael's has sent its theology students to the Angelicum in Rome. While there, these Norbertine students drink deeply from the well of St. Thomas and make many friends in the Dominican Order.
