Father John Dominic Kavanaugh was born August 5, 1878. He was elevated to the priesthood on June 24, 1909 and named as chaplain of our sisters in Sinsinawa Wisconsin. In frail health he nevertheless faithfully and vigorously fulfilled his duty for 23 years. Later
assigned to our convent of The Most Holy Rosary in Minneapolis, he showed himself equally zealous in parish ministry, and as subprior for six years.
