For All You Dominican Types!

Happy Feast of All Dominican Saints!

Who are your favorite "obscure" ones? I guess actually part of the problem is that Dominicans are apparently slackers on the canonization-pushing front, so a lot of the good ones stay Blessed. I love Bl. Jordan of Saxony & Fra Angelico (now an official Blessed). But I like all the ones everyone's heard of too

I <3 Bl. Jordan, Bl. Diana, Bl. Amata, Bl. Imelda, St. Peter Martyr ....

Yeah Dominicans have a lot of Blesseds.

[Ave Maria Totus Tuus]

Lest we forget Bl. Pier Giorgio Frassati!!!

[Deus te Amat]

Yay Dominican Saints!! I was born on a Dominican's feast, and I'm named after a Dominican.... I wonder if that means anything?

Woohoo! I know she's an obvious one, but you gotta love St. Catherine of Siena!

[photosynthesis]

don't forget about St. Thomas Aquinas!

[karin]

Blessed Margaret of Castello, Saint Martin de Porres, Rose of Lima, John masias, Tgomas aquinas! There are some many good ones and this is definately one of my favorite days

[Starets]

i didn't know that there was a feast of all dominican saints (and blesseds). shows what little I know
but I am glad my budding dominican friends and aquaintances here have lots of role models in Heaven keeping an eye out for them

WOW!!! I didnt even see that! Thanks for pointing that out sister.

[VeniteAdoremus]

I won't be original in this one, but for me, no-one beats St. Catherina de Siena

I can list a dozen reasons. The main one is that she rocks.

[Thomist-in-Training]

St Catherine is so intense. I find her really intimidating actually but she is AMAZING.
