Yesterday evening, we celebrated the Solemnity of St. Dominic in the best way possible. We went to Blessed Sacrament in Seattle because they observed the solemnity and their 100 year anniversary with a beautiful Dominican Rite Mass. The Mass allowed us to not only celebrate St. Dominic’s solemnity, it also provided us with an opportunity to introduce our children to the rite with which I had fallen in love when my husband and I were dating.

During that time, we assisted at the Domican Rite Mass, celebrated by Father Joseph Fulton, O.P. +, every Sunday morning at Blessed Sacrament. A year later, our Nuptial Mass was concelebrated by Fr. Fulton in this rite. Twelve days after our eldest child was born, she was baptized in the Dominican Rite at Blessed Sacrament. Last night was wonderful! St. Dominic, pray for us!
