Recent Events at Blackfriars

On 11 June, Fr Thomas Crean's book A Catholic replies to Professor Dawkins was launched at Blackfriars, Oxford. Fr Thomas, who is a member of the Dominican community in Cambridge, explained that he had written the book in an accessible way to help those who may have been perplexed by arguments made by Richard Dawkins in his book The God Delusion.

A Catholic Replies to Professor Dawkins is published by Family Publications and may be purchased here. Alternatively, you could ask your nearest bookseller to stock it.

Below are photos from the book launch:




On Friday 15 June, Blackfriars Hall marked the end of the academic year with a Garden Party. After a formal photo with our visiting students, all relaxed with a glass (or more!) of wine, as well as some strawberries and cream. The end of the year is poignant as people move on to new things and the year's events are recalled. As if on cue, the Lord sent showers of blessings and we moved the party indoors. Below are photos from this event:

  2. That's another reason I like being a Dominican: Dominicans know how to have fun!
