New master of the Dominican Order

New Master of the Dominican Order

Congratulations to Fr. Gerard Francisco Timoner III, O.P., who was elected by the General Chapter in Vietnam as the 87th successor of St. Dominic and 88th Master of the Order of Preachers, on July 13, 2019. A son of the Province of the Philippines, he has served as Rector of the Central Seminary of the University of Santo Tomas, Prior Provincial, and most recently as the Master’s Socius for Asia Pacific. In 2014, Pope Francis appointed Fr. Gerard to the Vatican’s International Theological Commission.

Let us give thanks to God and support him with our prayers.
