Last Thursday evening at St Mary’s, we had the privilege of hosting Cardinal Mario Grech, Secretary General of the Synod of Bishops, for a public lecture entitled: “From Vatican Council II to a Synodal Church.”

The occasion marked the centenary of Fr. Austin Flannery O.P. (1925–2008). Fr. Flannery was editor of Doctrine & Life for over three decades, manager of Dominican Publications, translator of the documents of the Second Vatican Council and subsequent post-conciliar texts, and editor of the influential volumes Vatican Council II: The Conciliar and Post-Conciliar Documents.

** 𝑪𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝑺𝒐𝒐𝒏: 𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝑰𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒉 𝑫𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒔, 800 𝒀𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔**

This new book tells the story of how a movement that began in Languedoc in 1216 reached Norman Ireland by 1224—and how, from that point onward, the Irish Dominicans made a varied and valuable contribution to Church and society over eight centuries.

They worked as preachers and educators, fostered the arts and learning, and developed new pastoral approaches. They supported the Irish diaspora in times of need, and carried their mission far beyond Ireland—to the West Indies, Australia, Iran and South America. From producing medieval manuscripts to launching publishing houses and embracing digital media, they remained consistently committed to the service of the Gospel.

Drawing on research carried out by a range of scholars over the past 50 years, The Irish Dominicans, 800 Years brings together stories and perspectives not previously published in book form.

Edited by Terence Crotty O.P., Scripture teacher and regent of studies for the Irish Dominican province.
