Last weekend the Province of England has had much to celebrate. On the 10th of September, fr. Graham Hunt OP and fr. Gregory Pearson OP made solemn profession at Blackfriars, Oxford. In his homily the provincial, John Farrell OP, reflected on the fraternity of the Friars Preachers, which crosses both time and geography.
On Sunday fr. Matthew Jarvis OP and fr. Oliver Keenan OP made their simple professions at the Priory of St. Michael the Archangel, Cambridge. They have since arrived in Oxford and will be joining the Godzdogz team this coming term.
Why nothing about Lawrence Lew's ordination to the priesthood? It is extraordinary that one has to rely on other blogs when he has contributed so much to this one over the years.
ReplyDeleteno need to worry or feel that fr. Lawrence has been forgotten. A post should go up this week.
ReplyDeleteWhilst other blogs have sent their best wishes to Lawrence, Godzdogz will be publishing a full account of the ordinations of frs. Lawrence , Haavar and Robert.
Wonderful news! Ad multos annos to all of them. How many Dominicans are there in England? IS two simple professions each year about average?
ReplyDeleteThere are about 100 Dominicans in the province and the number of professions varies from year to year. There are currently 8 student brothers of the Province of England
ReplyDeleteI am delighted to read about Fr Graham Hunt OP's Solemn Profession. I am proud to have taught him History when he was an undergraduate and used also to meet him at Greyfriars Hall. I was so glad when he told me he was entering the Order of Preachers. I wish him every blessing in the future.
