Luigi Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Fr. Duffner lives at the Dominican church in downtown Portland. I attended Mass there in October 2014, but I didn't see Fr. Duffner or get to meet him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted April 21, 2016 Author Share Posted April 21, 2016 Father Duffner is 101, and Sister Mary of the Compassion is 99! They grow some really old Dominicans on the West Coast! http://nunsmenlo.org/our-sister-celebrating-99-years-of-life/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luigi Posted April 29, 2017 Author Share Posted April 29, 2017 I'm a couple of weeks late posting this update, but Fr. Paul Duffner had his 102nd birthday a couple of weeks ago. (I believe he must've been recruited into the order by Blessed Jordan of Saxony, and studied under St. Albert the Great, in the same class as St. Thomas Aquinas. JK!) In truth, though, the province was founded in 1850 - that's 166 or 67 years. Fr. Duffner has been with the province for about half of its history! ************************************************************************************** Western Dominican Vocations shared Holy Rosary Church's photo. · April 27 at 5:49pm · The sole remaining friar in this photo is Fr. Paul Aquinas Duffner, OP (center), who celebrated his 102nd birthday on April 14! An ever faithful priest and devotee of Our Lady, he still serves at our Rosary Center in Portland.

Luigi Posted May 11, 2017 Author Share Posted May 11, 2017 Here's a Trappist who is now two years older than Fr. Duffner. He started out as a Jesuit (39 years!) before entering the Trappists. Coincidentally, May 8th is also my dad's birthday. *********************************************************************** Happy birthday, Father Bernard!
