DR. PETER KWASNIEWSKI

After teaching philosophy and theology at the International Theological Institute in Austria and music for the Franciscan University of Steubenville’s Austrian Program (1998–2006), Dr. Peter Kwasniewski joined the founding team of Wyoming Catholic College in Lander, Wyoming, where he served as the first Director of Admissions and Assistant Academic Dean, directed the Choir and Schola, and taught, over time, all of the theology courses and most of the philosophy and fine arts courses (2006–2018). 

Kwasniewski has also worked with The Aquinas Institute that, in collaboration with Emmaus Academic, is publishing a bilingual Opera Omnia of the Angelic Doctor in some sixty volumes. He is a Fellow of the Albertus Magnus Center for Scholastic Studies and a Senior Fellow of the St. Paul Center in Steubenville. He left Wyoming Catholic College in the summer of 2018 to pursue a career as an author, speaker, editor, and publisher, with the intention of dedicating his life to the articulation and defense of Catholic Tradition in all its dimensions. As part of this endeavor, he founded Os Justi Press, which publishes both reprints of old classics and new works of high intellectual merit. 

Dr. Kwasniewski has published over a thousand articles, both academic and popular, on sacramental and liturgical theology, the aesthetics of music, Thomistic thought, and the social doctrine of the Church. He has written or edited over twenty books and his work has been translated into at least twenty languages. Dr. Kwasniewski is also a composer whose sacred choral music has been performed around the world.
