Happy Feast Day from Denise

Dear Brothers and Sisters,
Happy St. Dominic’s Day in advance! Since I will be at an event on the 8th, I want to wish you a blessed feast day in advance.

May St. Dominic and all the Saints and blesseds of our Order intercede for you, your families, our Province and Church.
May our Holy Father Dominic, together with Our Lady, protect and guide you.
May your lives be holy so as to one day join the honor roll of Dominicans.
You are in my heart and prayers always, God bless you on this feast of the Transfiguration,

Denise

Prayers of St. Dominic



From the Prioress

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

On August 23, 2020 we will be allowed to attend our Dominican Laity meeting in person, in Aquinas Hall and attend the 9:00 am mass at Holy Rosary Church.  We will say our Rosary together in Holy Rosary Church at 8:30.   There is still a limit of 50 people that can attend the mass and there are only 23 spots available.  Calvin and Garth and I have already signed up and it is very easy to do.  All that is needed is to go to holyrosarypdx.org and click on sign up for Sunday mass, scroll to August 23rd and click on it.  If you have signed up in the past your information will already be stored and all you will need to do is click on submit and watch the confetti fall down over the page to show that you have successfully reserved a spot at the 9:00 mass.

Initial Fomation Class for Postulants and Novices will be at 7:30 am in Aquinas Hall. (Check oplhrpdx.org web page for updates)

If for any reason there are members who cannot get into the Mass, there will be a computer set up in Aquinas Hall where they can attend the 9:00 am Mass virtually.   Following the mass we will meet in Aquinas Hall to say the Morning Office.

Please go to the holyrosarypdx.org web site and sign up for the August 23rd mass immediately.  To view the ongoing education assignment for the August meeting go to oplhrpdx.org.

There will be NO ZOOM meeting this month. 

FACE MASKS ARE REQUIRED AT MASS AND DURING THE MEETING, social distancing of 6 feet must be observed at all times.


Thank you,
Cecelia
