One year ago, eight men received the habit of St. Dominic and entered the Novitiate for the Province of St. Joseph in the Priory of St. Gertrude in Cincinnati, OH. Those same eight men are now preparing to take their first vows as religious, promising obedience to the Master of the Order according to the Constitutions of the Order of Friars Preachers. The men will make their simple profession of vows at the Parish Church of St. Gertrude on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, August 15, 2007 at 11:30am.

“You are ransomed . . . not with perishable things like silver or gold but with the precious blood of Christ” (1 Peter 1:8-9)
Traditionally, the month of July is dedicated to the Precious Blood of Jesus. In the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, Jesus offers himself for the life of the world, so that we may all enjoy a share in the divine life, here, and unto eternity. Sharing in the life of Jesus means that we also share in his mission. In the Holy Eucharist, Jesus feeds us so that we can share his mission. We are called to offer ourselves for the life of the world in union with Him.
