Fr Justin Price OSB BSc M.Ed Ph.L is a Benedictine monk from Ampleforth Abbey in England, and as such his prime work
has been the worship of God through prayer and the Liturgy of the Church. He attended various schools in England (London
and Oxford); the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, and Loyola University in Chicago, where he studied cell biology,
philosophy, theology, psychology, and medicine, though he is not a registered medical practitioner.
He taught at Ampleforth
College for 20 years before becoming Prior of Ampleforth Abbey. He established pioneering programs in Personal, Social and
Health Education, and worked on preventive, therapeutic and reporting procedures to establish a culture antagonistic to emotional,
physical and sexual abuse. He was dean in the department of pastoral development, commissioned to extend the outreach of the
abbey and its associates to the local church and to college and graduate students through retreats and catechetical programs.
After a sabbatical year in the United States spent at St Anselm’s Abbey in Washington DC while studying at the Catholic
Institute for the Study of Human Sexuality, he spent a further 6 years as pastor in a small Benedictine community in the city
of Liverpool in England’s northwest, where he also offered teaching, spiritual and psychological counseling and support.
He came to Houston in January 2005, where he is chaplain and campus minister to the Schools of the Texas Medical Center and
Rice University.
He has also been involved in media and TV work, producing with his monastic community two major recordings
of Gregorian chant for a prominent British label.
