Small Catholic college has produced 104 priests

A small Catholic college has produced 104 priests, in addition to other religious vocations, during its almost 50-year history.

These 104 priests come from Christendom College’s alumni pool of just 4,053 total graduates – and since only men can be ordained, the rate is much higher. About 47 percent of Christendom’s alumni are men, meaning the 104 priests came from a pool of about 2,000 men.

The Front Royal, Virginia school told The College Fix another “11 alumni [are] studying for the priesthood” and there are “53 sisters, 5 brothers, 3 transitional deacons, 1 permanent deacon, and 2 consecrated virgins.”

One of those religious sisters includes the daughter of Christendom President Timothy O’Donnell.
