Rev. Dennis Brown O.M.V.
About the Teacher
Why study with them?
Father Dennis Brown, O.M.V. currently serves as spiritual director for the permanent diaconate program at St. John Vianney Theological Seminary in Denver.
He was ordained in 1989 by the late Pope John Paul II in Vatican City. Father Brown is a consecrated member of the Congregation of the Oblates of the Virgin Mary. He said the more a priest lives the more he’s aware of the truth that “by no merit of my own” is he chosen for the priesthood and ministry of the Church.
In the 1970s, Father Brown desired to convert to the faith and become a priest. Unaware of the bishop’s fame, Father Brown was sent to Archbishop Fulton Sheen—known for his radio broadcasts and TV show “Life is Worth Living”—to help him with the transition. He was so impressed by Father John Hardon, S.J., he enrolled to study at St. John’s University in New York and the Pontifical Institute for Advanced Studies in Rome.
