April 30, 2020During this season of hope and renewal, know that we are praying for you. May is the month of Mary, so it is fitting that we turn to our Blessed Mother in petition and thanksgiving for vocations.
On May 1 we will celebrate Religious Brothers Day. Dominican brothers have been a part of our Order since its beginning and our own patron, St. Martin de Porres, was himself a brother. On May 3 we will celebrate the World Day of Prayer for Vocations. Pope Francis recently said, "The Lord's call is not an intrusion of God in our freedom...it is the loving initiative whereby God encounters us and invites us to be part of a great undertaking." On May 8 Dominicans around the world will commemorate the Patronage of the Blessed Virgin Mary over the whole Order by renewing our consecration to our Blessed Mother.
Pray for vocations and join us online for Mass. Many of our parishes and campus ministries have been live-streaming Masses and other events.
We will continue to offer Masses and remember you during our community prayer. Please submit your prayer requests to us here. I am also available directly, feel free to contact me.
Many of you have donated to us during this difficult time. Thank You! We are very grateful for your generosity and trust. If you would like to make a financial gift to the Province, please click here.
May the Lord give you His peace,
Fr. Francis Orozco, O.P.
Director of Vocations
