Many congratulations on all these joyful events . You are very much in my prayers and at Mass
Hello Father; are you at liberty to divulge yet how many new novices will be starting with ye this year?
Hi Brendan, I've had a policy over my years as vocations director and which is also the policy now of the Dominicans not to announce numbers or names of people entering until they begin their novitiate. This is important for those beginning this important process. They have enough pressure without over exposure beforehand. In any case, those accepted for this year's novitiate will receive the habit of the Order on the traditional date for doing so - September 14th - the feast of the Triumph of the Cross.
