CLOSING OF THE 800TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE DEATH OF OUR FATHER ST. DOMINIC
On 6 January, 2022 the Dominican Family in Macau solemnly celebrated the closing Eucharist of the celebration of the 800th Anniversary of the death, dies natalis, of our Father St. Dominic. Representatives from the Dominican sisters joined the Friars at St Dominic’s Priory in giving thanks to God for the great gift of St. Dominic, the apostolic and evangelical man. The celebration of the anniversary started on January 6, 2021 and closed on January 6, 2022, the very significant day of the Epiphany or the manifestation of Jesus, the Son of God and the Son of Mary, to the world. He is lumen gentium; our Father Dominic, lumen Ecclesiae. “Preaching Christ, Dominic continues illuminating the world with the multitude of preachers: the Dominican Family,” said Fr Fausto Gómez in is homily. “May he bless us abundantly.”
