ST PHILOMENA SCHOOL STAFF

Principal
Fr. Benoit Wailliez

I am a Belgian citizen. I come from a large family: I am the 6th out of 10 children. My parents are still alive. Three of my sisters are Teaching Dominican Nuns.

I was ordained in Econe, Switzerland, in June 1997. I was first assigned in India for one year, then I spent four years in the Philippines as vocation director of SSPX pre-seminarians and brothers. In 2002, I was transfered to the United States (Armada, Michigan) where I ran a parish and a primary and secondary school until the beginning of July 2006. I then received a brief assignment as prior of Sydney, before being appointed principal of St. Philomena School.

I make fully mine this definition of education given by Pope Pius XI (in Divini Illius Magistri):

"The specific and immediate purpose of education is to cooperate with divine grace in forming the true and perfect Christian... the man whole and entire, soul united to body in unity of nature, with all his faculties natural and supernatural, the man who feels, judges and acts always and consistently in accordance with right reason enlightened by the example and teaching of Jesus Christ".
