Biography
Jeffery Jordan grew up in a small down in NE Georgia. Being from the Bible Belt, he developed a love of scripture from a young age, especially from his grandmother who had a bible verse for every occasion. In college, he discerned a call to enter into the Catholic Church, and years later, into the Order of Friars Minor (Franciscans).
Besides his work at BC, Jeffery is also the director of vocations for the Eastern Region of the US Province of OFMs (Our Lady of Guadalupe). Currently, he also serves as vicar to the friar community at St. Anthony Shrine in Downtown Boston.
