They really know how to have a good time on big feast days, especially St. Dominic's. All I've got nothing planned for myself except Mass and a Rosary... I need some ideas too!

alicemary Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 Happy Feast Day to all! Special thoughts go out to our Summit Dominicans and their chock full novitiate. Believe me when I tell you, cloistered nuns know how to make the day very special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sr Mary Catharine OP Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 We had the entire CFR novitiate over for Mass. It's a tradition that the FRANKS and DOGS get together on this day as we BOTH consider St. Dominic AND St. Francis OUR HOLY FATHER. Then we talked and talked and someone gave us a lucious chocolate cake for Dinner! We have the A/C on in choir ALL DAY! That's a treat! Most of all, we sing the office of St. Dominic in great solemnity! We just enjoy being together. If it were cooler we'd play a game outside but it's too humid! Maybe this afternoon we'll play "Miniature pool'! I'm not kidding! It's a table top pool table! It's great fun! Just my speed. HAPPY FEAST TO ALL! THANKS ALICE MARY for your greetings!

Chiquitunga Posted August 8, 2007 Share Posted August 8, 2007 [size=4][center][font="Garamond"][b][i]Happy Feast day, St. Dominic![/i] [/b] [img]http://www.todayscatholicworld.com/st-dominic-rosary.jpg[/img] [/font][/center][/size] Yep, the Franciscans also consider him their Holy Father. I think that's pretty cool - and visa versa with the Dominicans and St. Francis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ave Maria Totus Tuus Posted August 8, 2007 Author Share Posted August 8, 2007 Yay, I love all the responses! I'm wearing white today. Sr. Mary Catharine, so awesome how you converge with the Franciscans today! Talk about two incredible men in Sts. Francis and Dominic. Yes, I did get the most recent Nashville Dominicans, full of Dominic goodness indeed! On a side note, if any of you are ever planning to visit the Nashville Dominicans, PLEASE let me know! I'd love to come meet you, as I still have yet to meet any phatmassers in person. I know they've announced their retreat schedule for this year,[url="http://www.nashvilledominican.org/News/Retreat%20Schedule/Index.htm"] check it[/url]. I'll definitely be on the first Jesu Caritas weekend this October. Yay Dominicans!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
