Going Godward at the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage

A little slice of heaven is how one pilgrim described this year’s Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage—a day-long gathering of more than 3,000 pilgrims with the Dominican Friars and the Blessed Mother at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, DC.

Bluegrass with the Correct Theology

It was a Marian summer for The Hillbilly Thomists, a band of eight Dominican friars, who spent much of their summer touring with their new album Marigold, whose title song is an homage to the Blessed Mother.

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.

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.”

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.

One Small Step

Since 1974, thousands have marched in Washington, D.C., through the bitter cold. In post-Roe America, that work continues and we still march. While the Dobbs decision has had major effects on America, it was only one small step forward.
