Father Thomas Edward Dubay (December 30, 1921 – September 26, 2010), S.M., was an American Catholic priest, author, and retreat director. He wrote over 20 books on Catholic spirituality, in which he emphasized the importance of renewed conversion and contemplative prayer, and he traveled worldwide to teach at parishes, seminaries, and monasteries.
Dubay was born on December 30, 1921, in Minneapolis, Minnesota, one of seven children. His father, Elie Albert Dubay, was also born in Minneapolis, while his mother, Leah Caron Dubay, was born in Superior, Wisconsin. He attended DeLaSalle High School (Minneapolis), a school run by the Christian Brothers, and graduated in 1939. That year, he began his post-secondary education at St. Mary’s Manor, the minor seminary of the Society of Mary (Marists), in South Langhorne, Pennsylvania.
After two years at St. Mary’s Manor, Dubay entered the Marist novitiate in Staten Island, and took first vows after one year, on September 8, 1944. He then began his priestly formation at the Marist College in Washington, DC, and was ordained on June 8, 1950, by Bishop Michael Joseph Keyes, S.M.
