Biographical / Historical
Brother James Bailey, O.P, was born on August 13,1927, in Milwaukee, WI. Taught by the Dominican Sisters at St. Rose School, he was inspired by the example of Blessed Martin de Porres to enter the Order. He received the habit of Our Holy Father St. Dominic on August 14, 1944. During his postulancy he manifested a marvelous example of piety. His novitiate, God willing, was suddenly cut short by his death. Only a few hours after his profession - hastened by the fear of death - he died in Oak Park Hospital on November 7, 1944.
