Briscoe is a Dominican friar. The Dominican Order was started in the 13th century by St. Dominic, and it is also referred to as the"Order of Preachers." In addition to St. Dominic, notable Dominicans include St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Catherine of Siena, St. Albertus Magnus and St. Rose of Lima. , courage is the virtue that allows us to stand firm in the case of great evil," said Briscoe. "Christ's presence and power are sufficient to bring calm to the world’s chaos and courage to our hearts.
