“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.

On Thursday, June 21, 2007, Edward Cardinal Egan, Archbishop of New York, came to our church of St. Catherine to bless our new priory there. St. Catherine’s is located on east 68th street in New York’s Upper East Side. In addition to the parish, the friars of St. Catherine minister to three hospitals located in the area: Memorial Sloane-Kettering Cancer Center, Hospital for Special Surgery, and New York Presbyterian.
The new priory is located in the new research facility of Memorial Sloane-Kettering. Formerly the site of an dold priory and elementary school, these were sold to Memorial Sloane-Kettering for their new cancer research building. As part of the sale, space was reserved in the building for a new priory for the Dominican friars. In addition, the lower floors will provide much needed meeting and classroom space for the parish of St. Catherine.
