St. Dominic's Priory is delighted to announce the Novice Class of 2004.  These four men have come from various walks of life, but all have sought to live and serve the Lord in the tradition of St. Dominic De Guzman.  Please pray for them as they spend one year dedicated to deeper prayer as they learn to live the Dominican life.

"My dear young people, do not yield to false illusions and passing fads which so frequently leave behind a tragic spiritual vacuum! Reject the seduction of wealth, consumerism and the subtle violence sometimes used by the mass media.

Worshipping the true God is an authentic act of resistance to all forms of idolatry. Worship Christ: He is the Rock on which to build your future and a world of greater justice and solidarity. Jesus is the Prince of peace: the source of forgiveness and reconciliation, who can make brothers and sisters of all the members of the human family....There are so many of our contemporaries who do not yet know the love of God or who are seeking to fill their hearts with trifling substitutes. It is therefore urgently necessary for us to be witnesses to love contemplated in Christ."

Pope John Paul II
