Blackfriars

Six Men Profess Simple Vows

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.

Always Be a Loving Father

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

Letter from the Executive Director

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.

A Hidden Ministry

Fr. Frassati said it goes a long way when someone speaks your language. “To be a priest who’s able to communicate in their language is to see that there is a care.”

It’s Eucharistic Revival Time

Eucharistic procession through a city or any location is not just about publicly showing off, but has a deep spiritual meaning for each pilgrim, each disciple, to walk behind the Lord, to follow him to a life of blessedness.

Fruits of Contemplation

As he tells the story, it simply dawned on Fr. James Brent, O.P., one Christmas Octave several years ago that God wants to raise up contemplative souls in the Church—people who have truly heard, and take seriously, the universal call to contemplative prayer.

Praying and Living the Easter Octave

By baptizing people at the Easter Vigil, the Church is reminding us that, because of our own baptism, we participate in the same divine life that raised Jesus from the dead and that spiritually restores us after the death of sin.

Pointing to the Reality at Hand

For St. Thomas, the Eucharist was real, even the realest thing that could be had in this life. He lived his entire life in humble service of the Eucharistic mystery.

Truth Culture

Over 60 young adults from across the country came to Malvern, PA, to spend a weekend on retreat with the Godsplaining friars this past November.

Celebrating 100 Years

St. Gertrude Parish has been a beacon in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati for decades. Last November, the parish celebrated its 100th anniversary.

Masters of Sacred Theology

Fr. Basil Cole, O.P., and Fr. Thomas Joseph White, O.P., were both awarded the title of Master of Sacred Theology by Fr. Gerard Timoner, O.P., Master of the Order.

Path to Heaven

By the profession of obedience we bind ourselves to live the evangelical counsels, renouncing certain things of undoubted value without detriment to true human development.
