Happy Feast Of St. Dominic!

[DiscerningSoul]

I think its so neat that St.Dominic's feast day is on a Friday and the date is 8-8-8 and the start of the Olympics!
I will be attending a Divine Mercy hour at the Little Sisters of the Poor tonight with a friend from 8 till 9pm.
Of course I'll be in black and white! LOL

Happy Feast Day to all of our Dominicans!

I'm going to Mass in the AM. I'm planning on wearing one of my B&W outfits. [/quote]


I don't have a habit (maybe in the future, God willing) but the brother friars in sydney had dominican hoodies for their friends and volunteers at wyd!

(hoodies are black with the dominican cross over the heart and the word dominicans in white over the left upper arm).

I felt very honoured to wear mine

(as an aside, being dominicans-there was debate if a hoodie with the domincan cross of it is a dom-oodie or a dominoodie... )

That is awesome! And happy [belated] Feast of Bl. Mary Mackillop, too, right? Nat was saying something about that to me earlier.

It is such a small world!

Thanks. Yes, Bl. Mary MacKillop's feast day is the 8th of August, the day of her death but being a Blessed, the day is only a feast day in Australia and not the univeral church (yet).

In Australia, St. Dominic's Feast day has been moved to the 5th August...St. Dominic is such a gentleman for moving days for Bl. Mary

He is a [i]total[/i] gentleman. Persistent, though.

There were of course loads of clothings and professions on the happy Feast... and for all the guys: 11 new novices in the Province of St. Joseph!

(I think they reproduced the bios from when they started postulancy, but they're still cool.)

There was a lovely article about the English Dominican friars in this week's edition of the Catholic Herald:


"‘Our way of life has never been more necessary.’
The Dominican Order suffered after Vatican II, says [b]Anna Arco[/b]. But the English province is at the centre of a renaissance of Dominican life."

Thank you! Oh, I can't believe I forgot to post that
