** 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.

More details to follow soon.

Remembering… Fr Yves Congar, O.P. - (13th April 1904- 22nd June 1995)

𝐌𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐨𝐟 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐜𝐢𝐥 - https://tinyurl.com/drm7ceha

As a key theological advisor during the Second Vatican Council, Congar’s candid and down-to-earth reflections offer a rare, firsthand insight into the inner workings of the Council and the development of its historic documents. His journal provides a unique window into the people, debates, and spirit that helped shape the modern Church.

On this day we remember Yves Congar OP, silenced and exiled in 1955, yet by 1960 appointed a theological advisor to the preparatory commission for the Second Vatican Council.

As a theological expert, Congar attended all sessions of Vatican II (1962–1965). In My Journal of the Council, he offers a candid, day-by-day account of the Council’s inner workings — a rare, firsthand window into the development of what would become some of the Church’s most significant documents and declarations.

From the dramatic debates to personal reflections, Congar writes with remarkable honesty about the people and events that shaped a pivotal moment in Church history.

“𝑪𝒐𝒏𝒈𝒂𝒓 … 𝒓𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒓𝒅𝒔 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒗𝒊𝒆𝒘𝒔 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒑𝒂𝒏𝒕𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒕𝒉 𝒘𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒏𝒌𝒏𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒈𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒔 𝒖𝒔 𝒂𝒄𝒄𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒅𝒓𝒂𝒎𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒄 𝒏𝒆𝒈𝒐𝒕𝒊𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒎𝒂𝒏𝒐𝒆𝒖𝒗𝒓𝒆𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒐𝒌 𝒑𝒍𝒂𝒄𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒄𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒔.” – Timothy Radcliffe OP
