He was drawn to the Dominican motto of Veritas and the Friars’ dedication to preaching the Gospel. After graduation in 2016, Br.

He then decided to answer God’s call and apply to the Province. In his free time, Br. Andrew Martin enjoys reading, golfing, exercising, watching movies, and cooking. Br. Andrew Martin professed simple vows on August 10, 2019.
