Born January 16, 1912 in Zanesville Ohio, Rev. Fr. Chrysostom Joseph, the second of three sons of the McDonald family who had entered into the Order (His older brother John James preceded him; Edward Martin followed), was professed August 16, 1932 in the venerable Convent of St. Rose, Springfield, Kentucky. The year after his elevation to the sacred priesthood he undertook the task of professor which he would exercise for the rest of his life with great success, especially because of his love of young people and his extraordinary talent which he had for teaching them. He taught in DePaul University Chicago, in our Studium, in the College of St. Thomas in St. Paul, in Trinity High School, River Forest. He was teaching in our Fenwick High School when unexpectedly he died on November 15, 1953. Father, as a young religious, was afflicted with a certain painful leg condition which he bore with little or no complaints, always exhibiting for us a model of patience and calm.
