<em>The Catholic Herald puts Fr Kenneth Sicard, President of Providence College in Rhode Island</em>, <em>under interrogation</em>.
When my predecessor, Fr Brian Shanley, stepped down, I was elected as president. Note that I had been his Executive Vice President for 15 years, so the transition was natural.
From the Benedictus: “In the tender compassion of our God, the dawn from on high shall break upon us.” (Luke 1:78)
Our College chapel, St Dominic Chapel, and our Priory Chapel.
My Dominican community chants the psalms of Morning and Evening prayer daily.
Ss Dominic and Thomas Aquinas.
St Dominic and Pope Francis.
My life as a Dominican priest shapes and informs every aspect of my professional life as President of Providence College.
I visit Rome regularly, making it a point to include numerous religious sites. I will continue to do this.
That was a long time ago! From the Development of Western Civilisation programme, the religious works that influenced me most were Augustine’s Confessions, Dante’s Divine Comedy and Milton’s Paradise Lost. I also enjoyed and was inspired by the 1966 film A Man for All Seasons, based on the story of Sir Thomas More.
Mindless fiction to read on vacation, as well as What We Hold in Trust: Rediscovering the Purpose of Catholic Higher Education by Briel, Goodpaster and Naughton.
