Priesthood / Religious Life

Thanks to Br. Lorenzo Laorden, O.P., of the Dominican Central Province, who has generously shared with the College his photos from the ordination of Rev. Reginald (Ryan ’97) Wolford, O.P.

Please pray for Br. Reginald (Ryan ’97) Wolford, O.P., who, by God’s grace, will be ordained to the priesthood this weekend.

It has been a big week for alumni Dominicans in the Order’s Western Province! First, on September 1, Br. John Winkowitsch (’04) and Br. Athanasius Thompson (’12), entered the novitiate, receiving the habit of the Order of Preachers, at St. Dominic’s Catholic Church, San Francisco:

A group of Western Province Dominican novices recently traveled to Salt Lake City, where they spoke about their vocations with students at the St. Catherine of Siena Catholic Newman Center, which serves the University of Utah. Among the young Dominicans to share their stories was a member of last year’s graduating class, Br. Patrick Rooney (’15).
