A little late, I know, but warmest congratulations to Thomas Skeats and Robert Gay who were ordained last Saturday at Blackfriars in Oxford by Bishop Longley, and the internet's finest Catholic photographer, Fra Lawrence Lew who was ordained deacon.
Fra Lawrence has written about his love for photography and you can browse over 7000 photographs in his Flickr photostream. I knew that I was in some of them so I had a look through some of the sets...
On the Godzdogz blog there is also this video from 1964 to promote vocations to the Dominican order. A Dominican priest, ordained ten years, reflects on his own vocation to explore God's truth together with his brothers under Mary's protection. There is some fascinating footage of the Dominican rite of Mass.
It is always encouraging to hear good news and I am delighted that the Dominicans both here and in Ireland are flourishing.

Yes, the Dominicans have much to be grateful for
Here across the pond, 21 young men will be admitted as Novices in the Province of St. Joseph. This largest class of Novices in more than 40 years.
A young Irish Dominican said to my wife and me recently that he is confident that all the recent vocations to the Irish Province are Catholic! He clarified this by saying that there is no dissent from but rather enthusiasm for authoritative Church teaching. Deo gratias!
Thank you for saying what many of us think, father : that fr Lawrence is the finest Catholic photographer currently on the Internet . . . I pray that he goes from strength to strength; and I have little doubt that he will !
Thank you Fr Tim, and Q. for your kind comments. Above all, thank you for your prayers.
It would be cool if the photographer had done a P.O.V. ordination photo shoot!
