Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Happy New Year! May the Mother of God protect and guide you, as She did Her only Son, throughout this year.
You are all in my daily prayers.
May you be blessed with a Holy and healthy 2021.

PS, Below is a message from our Provincial, Fr. Fadok:
Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God Happy New Year Grace and peace to you! Through the intercession of Mary, the Holy Mother of God, may you be abundantly blessed in this New Year of Our Lord 2021. As we celebrate Mary, Mother of God, we recall in the Gospel today that the child in her arms was “named Jesus, the name given him by the angel before he was conceived in the womb” (Lk 2:16-21). Our Western Dominican Province is named the Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus. So it’s with particular joy that, in the Most Holy Name of Mary’s Son, Jesus, I ask Our Blessed Mother to pray for you and the Dominican friars as you receive this message. May all of us together be strengthened in faith, hope, and love, preaching the Gospel for the salvation of souls. As we have been during all of 2020, we Dominicans will continue to pray for you and your loved ones throughout 2021. Sincerely in Christ and St. Dominic, Very Rev. Christopher Fadok, O.P.
