After the resignation of president Jennifer Bonds-Raacke, the university board of trustees unanimously named Fr. Kilian Malvey, OSB, to the role of acting president of Saint Martin’s University.
Originally from New York City, Fr. Kilian came to Saint Martin’s as a high school student. He entered Saint Martin’s Abbey and made his profession of vows in 1958. After studying theology at Heytrhop College in London, he was ordained to the priesthood in 1973 by Archbishop Connelly of the Archdiocese of Seattle. He has taught in the high school and university, as well as served as the school’s dean of students, director of campus ministry, resident director, director of the university’s Benedictine Institute, and has served as chair for both Religious Studies and English departments. He continues to serve as the junior master for our abbey’s temporarily professed monks.
