Join the Novena

God became a baby, a tiny, helpless child, born of a woman, so that all our faults, all our weaknesses, all the wounds we’ve suffered, and all the wounds we’ve inflicted, could be forgotten, wiped away by his transforming grace. 

As one way of sharing this grace, the Dominican Friars Foundation would like to offer you the opportunity to enroll a loved one, living or deceased, in our Special Christmas Novena of Masses—from December 16 to December 24—which will be celebrated by our Dominican brothers at St. Dominic Church in Washington, D.C.

It is my prayer that God blesses you richly this Christmas, leading you to an ever-deepening appreciation of the newness he brings to our world and our lives. 

Please pray for our work and for us, as well. Your prayers and your offering will help me and my fellow Dominican Friars to announce God’s promises of salvation and new life to a hurting world. 

Thank you, again, for your faithful support. I pray this Christmas season is truly one of joy and light for you and all those you love.

 

Fr. William (Bill) Holt, O.P.
The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord.”
– Luke 2:10–11 

 

Christ Was Born to Save

Nearly seven hundred years ago, Bl. Henry Suso, O.P., saw angels singing with joy at the birth of the Infant Jesus, inspiring the carol Good Christian Men, Rejoice!. Today, the friars continue this tradition, celebrating Christ’s birth and lifting hearts in praise of the Savior. Watch the video and rejoice with them in this great gift God has given the world.

This Christmas season, join in sharing Christ’s love. Your gift forms young men to become Dominican friars—men who preach the Gospel, celebrate the sacraments, and bring Christ’s light to those who most need it.

Donate by December 31 to double the impact, and know that the Dominican Friars hold all donors and their loved ones in prayer this Christmas and New Year.
