800 Years Later: Together at the Family Table

As part of the celebration of our 800th anniversary, IDI published an excellent reflection by Brian Pierce on being Dominican and Family. Thanksgiving and Advent is a perfect time to reflect on his words. (PDF) Open here.

Things to know:

The anniversary will be marked with a Jubilee year from December 3rd, first Sunday in Advent, 2006 to the Feast of the Epiphany, 2008.

This is the first part of a ten year anniverary celebration that will conclude with a celebration in 2016, marking the 800th anniverary of the promulgation of the Order by the Holy Father in 1216.
