The Virtue of Obedience—How to Live It in the Modern World

STMS’s new chaplain, Fr. James—an inspiring priest with a degree in canon law—will speak about the nature, purpose, and benefits of an underrecognized virtue:  obedience.  Learn about the virtue from the points of view of Aquinas and More, and what it means for us today as Catholic lawyers in America.

Fr. James Yamauchi, J.C.L., became chaplain of St. Thomas More Society of Dallas in 2021.  He is a priest of the Diocese of Dallas and pastor of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Waxahachie, Texas. Prior to his current assignment, he was pastor of St. Martin of Tours in Forney, Texas, and associate director of formation at Holy Trinity Seminary in Irving, Texas.
