It All Begins At Baptism

 

God’s ways are mysterious and wonderful. As an infant, Br. Charles Rooney, O.P., was baptized at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in New York. This past summer, he returned to there as a Dominican Friar and deacon, now baptizing others. Brother Charles has left all things behind to live out his baptismal promises as a Dominican. We thank God for calling Br. Charles to religious life and are thankful to Br. Charles, and his fellow friars, for answering that call.
