Chapter Suffrages

On February 8, 2020, we gathered as a chapter for 8 am Mass, Rosary, and Office of the Dead. We offered this suffrage for all the deceased parents of members of the Dominican Order. Thank you all who attended, more than a dozen of us there praying and offering it up for their souls.

From the Province

Just some catch up emails from our Provincial President, Denise Harvey:

Dear Brothers and Sisters, (Jan. 3, 2020)

Happy Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus!

Today is a great Feast day for the Church and our Province. Let’s spend the day praising, blessing and preaching Jesus’ Holy Name.

Below is the Holy Name Pledge, and on our website is a link to the Litany of the Holy Name of Jesus (oplaitywest.org).

I encourage you to take the Pledge and pray the Litany.

In Jesus’ Holy Name,

Denise

THE HOLY NAME PLEDGE TO OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST

In the Name of the Father and of the Son,
and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
Blessed be God.
Blessed be His Holy Name.
Blessed be Jesus Christ, true God And true man.
Blessed be the Name of Jesus.
I believe, O Jesus, that thou art the Christ,
the Son of the living God.
I proclaim my love
for the Vicar of Christ on earth.
I believe in all the sacred truths
which the Holy Catholic Church
believes and teaches.
I promise to give a good example
by the regular practice of my faith.
In honour of His Divine Name
I pledge myself against perjury,
blasphemy, profanity and obscene speech.
I pledge my loyalty
to the flag of my country
and to the God given principles of freedom,
justice and happiness for which it stands.
I pledge my support to all lawful authority, both civil
and religious. I dedicate my life to the Honour of the
Sacred Name of Jesus Christ and beg that
He will keep me faithful to these pledges until death.
Amen.
