Aquinas Institute names preaching studio for sister

Adrian Dominicans

Sister Joan Delaplane, OP (Adrian), will be remembered in a special way by preaching students at Aquinas Institute of Theology in St. Louis, Missouri. The Dominican graduate school dedicated its Delaplane Preaching Studio May 11 in the presence of Sister Joan, family and friends, local Adrian Dominican associates, and Aquinas faculty and staff.
