I can't let you all get away with not having any Dominican NUN photos up! Really!
Here is our community photo for our Christmas card.
We could name it, "How many shades of white?"!!

Haha, YUP. I wonder if they do the whole "PRETEND YOU LOVE EACH OTHER" thing when they take group shots. :P

ETA: I FINALLY found both of the sisters I know in this picture! :D

'see and raise' is a poker term, DC.

It is used when a poker player thinks he or she has a better 'hand' (a group of cards with a higher point value) (i.e., she KNEW she had NUNS in her hand... not just friars & sisters!) and said the equivalnent of, Oh you think you gota ALL the Dominicans? well I bet I can top that...!!!!

And she then tossed her nuns into the mix.

And her hand looks pretty good!

I will ALSO see you both and raise you... Don't forget the Dominican Laity!!!!

I LOVE the new picture!!! But where's Sabina? (the Community's dog) Sabina seems to find her way into almost all the Community's photos!

BTW--I've been praying that the Community will survive Sandy without too much damage! I'll keep praying!

Let's not forget Phatmasser Laetitia Crucis (now Sister Mary Catherine) and the Sisters of St. Joseph in Lymington, England. She's asked for prayers for strong new vocations for her Community!

There are no Communities of Dominican nuns in England to pray for the active Sisters (their closest Community of Dominican nuns is in Ireland, I believe). So, even more need for us to pray for LC and her Community!

I'd post their Community picture from their Web site, but it's more than a year out-of-date. In the picture, LC is a postulant. IRL LC has just finished her canonical novitiate year! One year to first profession!

Oh dear,
no there aren't 2 Orders of Dominicans! Just ONE Order of Preachers: Friars and Nuns (religious) and Lay and Priest Fraternities. Then there are all the other branches: Sisters, volunteers, various religious communities, etc. We're ONE BIG FAMILY!

I'm in the back, upper left hand corner. Somehow, I got the hit the button and run job this year!

Sabina? I tried but she gets so excited we'd never get her to LOOK at the camera!

Sr Mary Catharine.... at least, if you can BE the one running to snap the photo, your foot must be healing! :)

Maybe you could distract Sabina with a torch -- or a dog biscuit made in the shape of a torch....
