Biography of Father Bede Jarrett (V)
In June, 1914, when he had been six years an active member of the Dominican community in London, Father Bede's brethren elected him their Prior. He was unusually young for such an office-only thirty-three. To his other duties was now added the heavy responsibility of governing a community of religious men, priests and lay-brothers, and exercising authority and jurisdiction over them according to the Dominican Constitutions in all matters spiritua…
