Biographical / Historical
Father Philip Edward Emmans, O.P. was born in Bridgeport, Connecticut, on October 14, 1904; professed on August 19,1925; and ordained June 15, 1931. At the end of his theological studies he received the Lectorate in Sacred Theology, and then after two years of complementary studies in the cole Biblique in Jerusalem he passed the exam in Rome obtaining the degree of Prolytus in Sacra Scriptura. He taught in the General Studium of the Immaculate Conception in Washington D.C., but he was forced to give up this work owing to failing vision and was assigned to the Priory of The Most Holy Rosary in Minneapolis, Minnesota. With medical treatment, there was some improvement in his vision, so that he was able again to resume his task of teaching, at first in St. Catherine College in St. Paul, then in St. Teresa College in Winona, where he again was stricken with a chronic and most painful illness. He yielded his soul to the Lord in St. Mary's Hospital, Rochester, Minnesota on December 3, 1957.
