Dominicans Make the Best Vocations Videos

You may remember last winter's charming video of the Dominican nuns of Summit, New Jersey sledding.  Now the Irish Dominican brothers of Dublin have gotten into the act.  H/T to Mac at Mulier Fortis, who has expressed a wish that this new one go viral.  I herewith undertake to do my bit.  (By the way, Mac is renewing her private vows today, so say a Hail Mary for her.)

Is God calling you to the religious life, or to a third order? Join the Order of Preachers.   No pharisaical gloom here.  Party like only the Dominicans can.

  2. You are welcome, Mac! And I hope the little pusslefaces rein in their destructive proclivities for your special day!

  3. Don't you just love the super hero cape their Regent of Studies wore? He used it very effectively to shield himself.

  5. When I saw this video the other day I was immediately reminded of the one with the nuns you posted on a few months ago... And had an inkling sense that you would post on this one too. It really does express that joy of devoting one's life to God.

  8. Mindyleigh, those are great pics! I admire any Dominican who can do all that and keep his white habit clean. (Anytime I wear white, I am sure to spill something on it.)

    Be careful WE don't steal that good brother: you know, we have no Dominican friars whatsoever in Idaho...
