Solemn Professions




The Dominican Friars
of the
Province of Saint Martin de Porres
joyfully invite you to witness the
Solemn Professions
of

fr. Augustine Joseph DeArmond, O.P.

and

fr. Thomas Christopher Schaefgan, O.P.

18800 FM 362
Navasota , Texas
Wednesday, May 25, 2011
7:00 P.M.
Reception will follow


Solemn Professions, different from ordination to the priesthood, is the moment which marks our life long commitment to the brothers of the Order of Preachers. Similar to marriage, it is a celebration in which the brothers are received into the Order as full members. Just as spouses profess their love and fidelity until “death do us part,” we profess obedience as friars preachers “until death.”

To R.S.V.P. or to receive more information about attending the Profession, please contact us:

DOMINICAN LAITY

SAINT MARTIN DE PORRES PROVINCE


Prayer for Dominican Laity Vocations

Loving Lord, through the intercession of our holy father Dominic, our sister Catherine of Siena, and our brother Martin de Porres, raise up vocations to our Province. Send Your Holy Spirit to guide and inspire the hearts of men and women to follow in the footsteps of our holy father Dominic, our sister Catherine of Siena, and our brother Martin de Porres.

Strengthen us in our vocation for preaching and service to God’s people. May our lives always witness to others the gifts of our common life as Lay Dominicans. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ, our Lord.

Amen
