Dominicans remembered

Part two of a three-part series for November by Donna-Kay Kissoon, Archdiocesan Archives

Collaborators: Office of the Vicar for Clergy, Fr Thomas Lawson OP, Fr Urban Hudlin OP, Sr Therese Antoine OP, Sr Ann Bradshaw OP, Sr Lystra Long OP

 

In the Catechism of the Catholic Church, we are taught about a time of purification before entering Heaven and how our prayer helps. In paragraph #1032 we read: “This teaching is [also] based on the practice of prayer for the dead, already mentioned in Sacred Scripture: ‘Therefore [Judas Maccabeus] made atonement for the dead that they might be delivered from their sin.’ From the beginning the Church has honoured the memory of the dead and offered prayers in suffrage for them, above all the Eucharistic sacrifice, so that, thus purified, they may attain the beatific vision of God.”

The Church also commends almsgiving, indulgences, and works of penance undertaken on behalf of the dead.

We remember all Dominican Fathers, Brothers, Contemplatives and Sisters. We can only list some of whom are buried in our Archdiocese but we pray for all who are unlisted and who returned to their native countries.

The first Dominican Fathers were Spanish Dominicans who came in 1512, followed by French Dominicans in 1864, and Irish Dominicans in 1895.

The Dominican Sisters of St Catherine of Siena first came in 1868 from France to begin work at the leprosarium. In 1874, five Dominican Contemplative Nuns forced to abandon their cloister arrived from Venezuela and eventually founded the Rosary Monastery.

From its mother house in Wisconsin, USA, Sr Glenda Rodriguez OP, native Trinidadian, brought the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa to the island in 2001.
