Br. Jerome Aubert, O.S.B., a monk at Saint Joseph Abbey, has been named Dean of Students at Saint Joseph Seminary College.

“I’m looking forward to it,” Aubert said. “It’s exciting to be immersed into the seminary environment. It’s a good community to be a part of.”

As Dean of Students, Aubert will provide student support and oversee most aspects of student life on campus. He will also act as a liaison between the seminary administration and student body and assist students with their personal, spiritual, and pastoral development.

He believes being a recent SJSC graduate himself gives him the unique ability to understand situations the students find themselves in as they adjust to being a seminarian. That perspective will help him help students as they navigate through their undergraduate years.

Aubert, a Brother Martin High School alum, completed the pre-theology program at Saint Joseph Seminary College in 2014-15 after graduating from Loyola University in 2014 with a degree in religious studies.

He entered the monastery at Saint Joseph Abbey immediately following his graduation from SJAC and professed his solemn vows in 2019. He received a Master of Arts degree in theology from Saint Meinrad Seminary in Indiana in 2021 and was ordained to the diaconate by Auxiliary Bishop Fernand Cheri on April 30, 2022. He will be ordinated to the priesthood on Dec. 3, 2022, at which Archbishop Gregory Aymond will preside in the Abbey Church.
