History

Daniel Berrigan was born in Virginia, Minnesota, a Midwestern working class town. His father, Tomas Berrigan, was second-generation Irish-Catholic and proud Union man. Tom left the Catholic Church, but Berrigan remained attracted to the Catholic church throughout his youth. He joined a strict Jesuit seminary directly out of high school, where he spent the next twenty years studying theology.
