About the speaker: Fr. Langevin entered the Order of Friars Preachers in 1998 and was ordained a priest in 2005. He was formerly assigned as a parochial vicar at St. Thomas Aquinas University Parish in Charlottesville, Virginia, serving the University of Virginia. While working on his doctorate at the University of Fribourg, Father Langevin was employed full-time there as the assistant to the Chair of Dogmatic Theology for Ecclesiology and the Sacraments. Father Langevin joined the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception in the fall of 2013. He teaches courses principally in sacramental theology and liturgiology. Since the summer of 2018, he is the editor of the journal The Thomist, for which he previously was book review editor. His book, From Passion to Paschal Mystery (Academic Press Fribourg, 2015), analyzes 20th-century Church teaching on the relationship between the sacraments (focusing on baptism and the Eucharist) and the events of Christ’s life. His primary research interest is general sacramental theology.
