What happens when one goes on pilgrimage? Hear the many reasons why people joined us for the first annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage last fall and the many graces they received. And join us for the second annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage on September 28, 2024 at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC.

Fall is now upon us, which means back-to-school for many, including both our young friars in formation and all of the Dominicans who serve on university campuses.

“Prefer Jesus to everything,” was the parting wisdom Fr. Edmund McCullough, O.P., gave to students at his last Munderground talk this past semester.

For Dominican Friars, loving God is not just about the will, but it’s also, perhaps more so, about the mind.

In his recent book, Angelic Virtues and Demonic Vices: Aquinas’s Practical Principles for Reaching Heaven and Avoiding Hell, Fr. Basil Cole, O.P., sets out to make the teachings of St. Thomas Aquinas accessible to anyone.

In his recent book Principles of Catholic Theology, Book 2, On the Rational Credibility of Christianity, Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P., seeks to give a resource to show “warranted belief in Christianity.”

Our Holy Father Dominic wanted his order to be poor. He wanted us to live by the words of Christ, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor . . . Then come, follow me” (Matt 19:21).

God continues to do amazing things through our Province! On August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, six Dominican friars made simple vows at our parish of St. Gertrude’s in Cincinnati, Ohio.

“In January the Prior Provincial called me and asked me to become the pastor,” Fr. Paul said. “I was overjoyed and honored.”

Brother John of Spain tells us that Dominic “used to get great delight from anything untoward that happened to him on the way. For example, if he tripped over a stone his face would light up as he said, ‘This is doing penance!’”

With the recent ordination of five of our brothers to the priesthood of Jesus Christ, so many souls will encounter the mercy of Christ in the confessional, so many souls will receive the Eucharist at the Masses they celebrate, and so many souls will discover the riches of the Catholic intellectual tradition (especially the Thomist tradition) through their preaching!

This year we thank God for the ordination of five Dominican friars to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. Throughout their lives each of these men will preach the saving truth of Jesus Christ, baptize, absolve sins, and celebrate Mass for many thousands of souls.
