I found a initial to an order that is "O.P." and I am not certain what order it is from.

Its just a quick question, not intended of long conversation. :)

O.P. stands for Order of Preachers, also known as the Dominican Order.

Ok, gotcha, now that makes sense.

I found a cape with the name of a Dominican brother's name in it. Must have been donated...thanks!

I know you don't want this to be a long post but here is a link that gives you most of the religious order initials. I printed this out and keep it by me so I can figure out which orders are which.

Cheers.

I love initals...really, its cool, particularly for religious orders. God likes to simplfy things sometimes.

The Brothers at my school, (initials are "F.S.C.) would always say they meant "For Sure Cool" whenever we asked.

You know what? I think I just created one of those silly games we play.

I think it would be proper for Franciscan University of Steubenville's mascot should be the Tornados. They are are run by the Franciscans Third Order Regular (if I am correct) TOR...

TORnados.

I have a brilliant idea.

Everyone give the initials of one of their favorite orders, and the rest of us figure out what they are without looking it up!

I'll start.

They teach...or well theres not alot of them. The President is a brother, the principle is a brother, there is a language teacher that is a brother, a groundskeeper thats a brother, and another is sort of a "youth minister" and we have alot of ex-brothers that teach.[url="http://www.brothersvocation.org/"]Here's a link, if you care to see[/url]

You know I'm not good with these, I didn't even know the Dominicans.
