Fr. Ben Keller, OP

I grew up in Andover, MN, which is a Northwest Suburb of the Twin Cities.  I went to Andover High School and then on to Minnesota State University, Mankato where I majored in mechanical engineering, played baseball, and really began to feel the Lord calling me to share His love with others.  I then spent a year as a Missionary with FOCUS and Varsity Catholic (the athlete outreach of FOCUS) up at the University of Mary in Bismarck, ND.  

After that year, I joined the Dominicans in the Summer of 2014.  I spent seven years in formation for the Dominicans in Denver, St. Louis, and was here at St. Paul's for my pastoral year in 2017-2018.  After being ordained in 2021, I spent three years as a parochial vicar at St. Tom's in West Lafayette, the campus ministry for Purdue University.  I am excited to be here at St. Paul's and to get to know each of you and see how the Lord is working in your lives!
