Fr Dwight Longenecker was brought up in an Evangelical home in Pennsylvania. Realizing that he and the Anglican Church were on divergent paths, in 1995 Fr. Dwight and his family were received into the Catholic Church.
Fr. Dwight is the editor of a best-selling book of English conversion stories called The Path to Rome-- Modern Journeys to the Catholic Faith. He has written Listen My Son—a daily Benedictine devotional book which applies the Rule of St Benedict to the task of modern parenting.
In 2006 Fr. Dwight accepted a post as Chaplain to St Joseph’s Catholic School and moved back to his hometown of Greenville, South Carolina and in December that year he was ordained as a Catholic priest under the special pastoral provision for married former Anglican clergy. He ministers at St Joseph’s, and in the parish of St Mary’s, Greenville.
