Word is Getting Out!
Posted by Fr. Benedict Croell, O.P. on September 28, 2010
In his Sept. 26, 2010 message to his parish, distinguished New York City pastor Father George Rutler of the Church of Our Saviour on the city's famed Park Avenue--a regular on Eternal World Television Network (EWTN)--noted the fact that the novitiate of the Province of St. Joseph "accepted its largest novitiate class since 1966." Marking September as "the month the Church prays for vocations," Fr. Rutler singled out the Province as a leading example of an Order that is having growing success in attracting vocations. An impressive number of 21 young men entered the Novitiate at St. Gertrude's Priory in Cincinnati last month. To read Fr. Rutler's comments in full, click here.

Family Dinner (Romare Bearden, 1979)
Along with the desire to preach the Gospel, to embrace wholeheartedly the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity, and obedience, to study holy truth, and to celebrate the liturgy with honesty and sobriety, there is another desire that animates men to seek and join our Order.

The Dominican Soul
by M.M. Philipon, O.P., translated by Abp. Cajetan Kelly, O.P.
Posted by Fr. Pius Pietrzyk, O.P. on September 19, 2010
Dominican Saints and Mary
A Dominican Soul is a soul of light whose rapt gaze dwells in the inaccessible splendor wherein God conceals Himself. It lives with Him by faith, is in the company of the Three Divine Persons, a true child of God, adopted through grace into the very Family of the Trinity. The invisible world becomes familiar to it; it pursues its way on earth in intimacy… » More
