About Rev. Llane Briese

Born in Oklahoma City but raised in suburban north Georgia and upstate South Carolina, Rev. Llane Briese is a cradle Catholic from the Bible Belt. His first serious encounter with the Bible was when he was 10 years old, and it has become his life’s work ever since, especially after he first learned about the Church’s nuanced and rich approach to the Bible when he attended St. Pius X Catholic High School, graduating in 2003. After a year of engineering studies at Clemson University, he discerned the Lord’s call to priesthood and so entered seminary for the Archdiocese of Atlanta, earning a BA in philosophy at Franciscan University of Steubenville (Ohio) in 2006 and three pontifical degrees, culminating in a doctorate in biblical theology, from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, Italy. He was ordained a priest in 2010 and has served on the faculty of St. Vincent de Paul Regional Seminary in Boynton Beach since 2017.
