Dominican Friars in Formation | 2024 – 2025

We are blessed to have over 50 young men in formation and we ask for your prayers—that these men persevere in their path to the priesthood.

Our Kingship in Christ

When we bow before the Presence of God in himself and in others, the divine glory shines through us to those around us. We discover that to serve is to reign and to be humble is to be a king.

The Church celebrates with great joy the Solemnity of All Saints, but one day later, there’s a drastic change. Instead of white vestments, black or purple vestments are worn. Instead of the joy that we are reminded of from the lives of the saints, we are reminded of those we have lost. Instead of seeing the joy that comes from heaven, we are reminded of the pain that comes from the fall of Adam.

Celebrating All Saints

In this month of November the Church celebrates all those courageous men and women who have gone before us in this life and have come to their eternal reward. That reward is living in the presence of God in heaven.

Letter from the Executive Director

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.

Keeping the Faith on Campus

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

The Importance of Loving God with the Mind

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

Growing in Virtue

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.

Studying the One We Love

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.”

Bonus tu et Beneficus | You are Good and You Do Good

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).

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.
