The Hillbilly Thomists
In August 2023, the Hillbilly Thomists retreated to a cabin in the Catskill Mountains to record their fourth and most recent studio album of original music, Marigold. Continuing to draw from the vivid cultural and spiritual landscape of the band’s unofficial patron, Flannery O’Connor, who coined the phrase “hillbilly Thomist,” the friars have put together an album that’s at once old and new, rooted in the rich soil of traditional American music and blossoming into a lyrical meditation on life’s enduring trials and beauty.

St. Thomas Aquinas: “Nothing But You, O Lord” | A Reflection on Desire with Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress
This Catholic reflection for the feast of St. Thomas Aquinas explores the saint’s famous prayer, “Nothing but You, O Lord,” and invites us to ask God to purify and reorder our desires.
Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P., reflects on one of the most striking moments in the life of St. Thomas Aquinas: when the Lord offers him a reward, and Thomas responds with a single desire—nothing but the Lord himself.
Through the intercession of St. Thomas Aquinas, Dominican friar and Doctor of the Church, we are invited to examine our own hearts and ask that our desires may be purified, reordered, and directed toward God alone. St. Thomas teaches us that the deepest desire of the human heart is not success, knowledge, or recognition, but God himself.
Please know that we are praying for you as friars, and we ask you to pray for us on this feast day of our brother, St. Thomas Aquinas.

Why Catholics Carry God Through the City | O Come, All Ye Faithful
Hidden under the humble sign of bread, Jesus moves through the world he made. Many will never cross the threshold of a church—but in a Eucharistic procession, God comes to them, carrying his presence into the streets he loves and the world he saves.
This Eucharistic procession in New York City offers a rare witness to Christ, truly present in the Eucharist, going out to meet the world he made, the world he loves, and the world he saves. The procession is accompanied by the voices of the Schola Cantorum of the Dominican House of Studies, singing O Come, All Ye Faithful.
Whether you are Catholic or simply curious about the faith, this video provides a moving glimpse into the beauty of a Catholic Eucharistic procession, showing how God’s presence can touch every corner of the city.

A Thank You from the Dominican Friars as We Close the Year | Fr. John Paul Kern, O.P.
As the year comes to a close, Fr. John Paul Kern, O.P. offers a message of gratitude to all who support the Dominican Friars with their prayers and generosity.

Newly Canonized Saint Bartolo Longo & the Rosary with Fr. Andrew, O.P.
On October 19th, Blessed Bartolo Longo, the lay Dominican who dedicated his life to spreading the Rosary at Pompei, was canonized—a true witness to the power of conversion and devotion.
In this clip from the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P., reflects on Bartolo’s journey: a man once lost in darkness, even practicing Satanism, who experienced a dramatic conversion and devoted his life to Our Lady of the Rosary. Fr. Hofer emphasizes that Bartolo’s life is a reminder that the Rosary is a “chain of hope,” lifting hearts to Heaven and inspiring all who pray it.

How Theology Answers the Questions of Philosophy w/ Fr. James Brent, O.P. | Ep. 159
How can Catholics engage with the mystery of God through reason and faith?
Dr. Michael Dauphinais sits down with Fr. James Brent, O.P., assistant professor of philosophy at the Dominican House of Studies. They explore how philosophy in the perennial tradition raises profound questions about God’s existence, His plan, the problem of evil, the human soul, life after death, and the pursuit of ultimate happiness, questions that are finally only answered by faith in God's revelation in Jesus Christ. They also discuss Fr. Brent's recent book The Father’s House: Discovering Our Home in the Trinity.

Our Lady of the Rosary: Finding Victory Through Persevering Prayer | Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P.
Today the Church celebrates the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary—once known as the Feast of Our Lady of Victory. In this reflection, Fr. Joseph-Anthony Kress, O.P., shares how the rosary has shaped his own life and why this prayer is a powerful weapon in both great historical moments and our daily spiritual battles.
Whether in the victory at Lepanto in 1571 or in the hidden struggles of the heart, Our Lady intercedes for us and leads us to Christ. Even when prayer feels dry or distracted, fidelity in the rosary is itself a victory of grace.
Watch now and join us in asking: Our Lady of Victory, pray for us.

Dominican Friars Make First Profession of Vows | August 15, 2025
On August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of Mary, our brothers made their First Profession of Vows at St. Gertrude Church in Cincinnati, Ohio. By professing obedience, poverty, and chastity, they enter more deeply into the life of St. Dominic and the mission of the Order of Preachers.
As Fr. Raymond La Grange, O.P., reminds us: “By professing obedience to St. Dominic, we place ourselves under his direction. We fulfill our part of the obedience by continuing, centuries later, to carry out the mission which he inaugurated.”
Following their profession, these newly professed friars begin their academic studies at the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception (PFIC) at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. Their time in study—“the wood of the desk is the wood of the cross”—is a sacrifice that prepares them for a lifetime of preaching rooted in the Dominican intellectual tradition.
Please keep our brothers in your prayers as they begin this next stage of their journey in religious life.

It All Begins At Baptism
God’s ways are mysterious and wonderful. As an infant, Br. Charles Rooney, O.P., was baptized at St. Vincent Ferrer Church in New York. This past summer, he returned there as a Dominican Friar and deacon, now baptizing others. Brother Charles has left all things behind to live out his baptismal promises as a Dominican. We thank God for calling Br. Charles to religious life and are thankful to Br. Charles, and his fellow friars, for answering that call. #vocations #priesthood
Entering Into Joy
On August 15, 2023, on the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, 12 Dominican friars professed simple, or first, vows at St. Gertrude’s parish in Cincinnati, OH. These first vows follow a year of novitiate, then, having entered into vows, the friars embark on a life of intellectual and spiritual formation at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C.
Please pray for these 12 men as they enter more deeply into Dominican life!
The Pearl of Great Price
The treasure we’re looking for in this life is God. We may try to find all sorts of counterfeit gods—money, power, pleasure—but all of these will fall short of what we desire. As he blessed Manhattan’s first ever perpetual adoration chapel, Cardinal Timothy Dolan tells us that what we’re ultimately seeking is that pearl of great price. And that pearl can be found in the Eucharist, every day of the week, every hour of the day, at the Divine Mercy Adoration Chapel at our Dominican parish of St. Joseph’s in Greenwich Village. #perpetualadoration
Nine New Dominican Priests
Nine Dominican Friars were ordained to the priesthood by Bishop Earl Fernandes on Saturday, May 20, 2023. In his homily, Bishop Fernandes told the newly ordained priests “to reflect on the stream of blessings that flow from the hands of priests—your hands. Each of you, called to bless, are a blessing to your Order and to the whole Church.” #Priesthood
Corpus Christi in New York City
“At the sight of the crowds, Jesus’ heart was moved with pity for them.”
Matthew 9:36
Jesus’ heart is still moved by the crowds. He sees us in the realities of our lives, in our sufferings…and he’s moved with compassion, so much so that he wants to give himself to us. In the Eucharist, Jesus is as present to us in the streets of our modern-day cities as he was when he traversed Galilee and Jerusalem two thousand years ago. Follow him where he leads you. #RealPresence

What's the Difference Between Hope and Optimism?
Hope vs Optimism: Is Religion Just Wishful Thinking? | Fr. Gregory Pine & Fr. Bonaventure Chapman
Optimism says, “Things will work out.”
Hope says, “God is at work—even when they don’t.”
This week, Fr. Gregory Pine and Fr. Bonaventure Chapman dive into one of the most misunderstood virtues: hope. Is it just positivity? Wishful thinking? Or something far more powerful? If you’ve ever struggled to stay hopeful in difficult seasons, this episode is for you.

Aquinas 101
Finding "The One" (Aquinas 101)
Many young Catholics wonder about their vocation, and it can be a challenge to know how to properly discern it and where to begin.
Oftentimes, God reveals our vocations slowly over time through the opportunities that arise in our lives, the passions and desires we find in our hearts, and the people the Lord puts in our path.
In this episode of Aquinas 101, the Peters recount their story and share practical tips on dating and the discernment of marriage.

How Can I Prepare for Life with My Future Spouse? (Aquinas 101)
One may imagine a household simply as the place to form children, but a household can only rightly form the next generation if it is also the home of a vibrant adult life.
How then should a young adult, or anyone preparing for marriage, think about and get ready for life in a household?
In this Aquinas 101 episode, Prof. John A. Cuddeback, Ph.D., discusses life in the home and shares practical tips on how one can better prepare for this life before entering into marriage.

How Does Marriage Sanctify Spouses? (Aquinas 101)
St. Thomas Aquinas wrote that every sacrament is a “sign of a holy thing so far as it makes men holy.” As a sacrament, matrimony has a special, supernatural power to make us holy.
St. Benedict calls the monastery the workshop or school for monks to grow in holiness; for the married, home is that workshop, that school.
In this Aquinas 101 episode, Prof. John A. Cuddeback, Ph.D., examines marriage as a school of virtue.

Suffering in Marriage (Aquinas 101)
Anyone who has been married for any length of time knows that suffering is a major feature of married life, just as it is a major feature of all human life.
Suffering is normal. Indeed, it is ultimately a great gift; and if we are to understand marriage, and more broadly human life itself, this demands our careful attention.
We must never forget that God does not want suffering for its own sake. But suffering is at the center of our faith. Why?
In this video, Prof. John A. Cuddeback, Ph.D., expands on this question and offers insight on the redemptive power of suffering in marriage.

Aquinas, JPII, and Theology of the Body (Aquinas 101)
Theologians sometimes refer to marriage as the sacrament of love. Why is that, and how does this love grow over time?
In this Aquinas 101 episode, Dr. John Grabowski presents on the topic of love in marriage by pulling from the teachings of two great theologians, St. Thomas Aquinas in his Summa Theologiae and Pope St. John Paul II in his catechesis known as Theology of the Body.

What Does St. Paul Say About Submission in Marriage? (Aquinas 101)
"Wives, be subject to your husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior.” - Ephesians 5:22-23 (RSV-CE)
This idea of subjection or submission seems out-of-step with modern sensibilities, yet this teaching is part of Scripture, so how should we understand it?
Though this letter was originally addressed to the Ephesians, it invites modern readers to more deeply contemplate Christ's love for the Church, and in return, to bring the fruits of that contemplation into the married life.
In this Aquinas 101 episode, join Dr. And Prof. Peters as they dive into this passage written by St. Paul.

What Is an Annulment? (Aquinas 101)
What is an annulment? How is it different from divorce?
Marriage is a lifelong, exclusive union between a man and a woman for their mutual support and the bearing and raising of children. Unfortunately, marital failure can occur. But, why do marriages fail? How do we handle these heartbreaking situations?
One reason for marital failure is that the relationship may never have been an actual marriage. This situation may call for an annulment investigation. An annulment is a declaration that no marriage existed and that the man and woman are not husband and wife.
Join Fr. Dominic Langevin, O.P., as he explains the annulment process and how annulments differ from divorce.

Marriage as Mutual Service and Consecration in Christ (Aquinas 101)
In marriage, spouses lay down their lives as single persons and take them up again as married persons. They become one flesh, husband and wife, father and mother. Drawing from St. Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, this Aquinas 101 episode shows how the sacrament of marriage images Christ’s covenant love for the Church and calls spouses to “be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ” (Eph 5:21).
Join Fr. Gregory Pine, O.P., as he unpacks the meaning of mutual subordination, and explains how St. Thomas Aquinas distinguishes the husband’s marital authority from the wife’s complementary obedience without denying their equal dignity. This video highlights how grace builds upon nature, giving the husband a role of loving leadership while the wife receives the gift of self‑offering through loving submission. Together, husband and wife become one flesh, mirroring the self‑sacrificial love of Christ for His Body, the Church.

Bonus Episode: The Holy Eucharist and the Life of Grace | Contemplata | Fr. James Brent, O.P.
In this bonus audio from Contemplata, we turn our attention to the Holy Eucharist—the gift that stands above every other gift given to the Church.
Drawing from the tradition of the saints and the Church’s own prayer, this meditation reflects on the unique power of the Eucharist in our sanctification. While many paths of prayer and devotion have been given to us, the Eucharist is not simply one among many—it is the Lord himself, given to us, working within us.
This reflection considers the Eucharist not only as a source of grace, but as its cause: actively forming charity in the soul, uniting us to Christ, and giving to each person exactly what is needed for that day.
Featuring a prayer attributed to Saint Basil the Great, this episode invites you to approach Holy Communion with greater faith, expectation, and devotion.
A quiet, substantial meditation to accompany your prayer.

Watch for the Lord | Contemplata Ep 50 | Fr. James Brent, O.P.
Often we are attacked by distractions and temptations, which distance us from God. But we do not need to despair, because of our Baptism. The first step towards living a life of constant prayer is to develop a constant awareness of God’s action in our lives. When we are vigilant, we can guard against the things that keep us from Jesus. Join Fr. James Brent, O.P. in Episode 50 of Contemplata, as he walks us through scripture and spiritual theology, on the Road to Constant Prayer.

The Lord says ‘I am the vine, you are the branches.’ That is how the Lord wants us to think of the life of grace. Jesus is the head of the body, we are his members. There is a distinction, but there is one common life. You and I are branches on the vine of Jesus Christ.
You and I can say His life is mine, by the gift of His grace. Christ’s own life comes into us - we ingest His body and blood, and His life is something we receive, consume, and eat.

Contemplata Ep 39 | Communio | Fr. James Brent, O.P.
Every word of scripture is full of fire from the Holy Spirit. Every time you and I take a word of scripture to heart great things begin to happen in our souls. We begin to recover our sense of the presence of God in our lives and in the world around us. The communion of our Lord Jesus Chirst is a heart full of the Holy Spirit - it is friendship with him, and knowledge of His love for us. It is living in His relationship with the Father, and calling His Father as our Father.

Contemplata Ep 38 | How God Loves You | Fr. James Brent, O.P.
The great plan of God is to unite human beings everywhere with His eternal Son, Jesus Chirst, by the power of the Holy Spirit. His plan is to make us live on a whole new level, so that we can worship Him with Jesus. In our baptism the love of God was poured forth into our hearts through the Holy Spirit. When you and I have been loved in that special kind of way we come alive. We are regenerated, refashioned, and recreated in the depths of our souls. And we begin to live the supernatural life of grace.

Contemplata Ep 37 | God's Plan for You | Fr. James Brent, O.P.
Very often it doesn’t seem like God has a plan. It can feel like everything is going wrong. But we need to remember—God has a plan for the whole world, and for each of us personally.
St. Paul called God’s plan “the mystery.” Through Scripture, he was authorized by God to reveal this secret plan, hidden in God’s heart since the beginning of the world. What has been revealed is that God’s plan is Jesus Christ. In Him, we are drawn into the Mystical Body of Christ, guided by the Holy Spirit, and invited to live according to God’s eternal wisdom and love.

Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena | February 2026 | Fr. John Paul Kern, O.P.
Enter more deeply into Lent by praying the Sorrowful Mysteries of the Rosary with the Dominican Friars.
In this February Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena reflection, Fr. John Paul Kern invites us to contemplate Christ’s Passion through the Most Holy Rosary — uniting ourselves to his Agony in the Garden, his Scourging, his Crowning with Thorns, his carrying of the Cross, and his saving Death on Calvary.
During this sacred season, the Church draws our attention to the mystery of salvation revealed in the Cross. By meditating on these mysteries with Our Lady, we are conformed more closely to Jesus Christ and strengthened by grace to carry our own crosses in hope of the Resurrection.
Join us in praying the Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage Novena and prepare your heart for the 2026 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage on September 26, 2026 in Washington, DC.

God's Godly Love | Fr. Austin Litke O.P.
We are good only because he has first loved us. During the second conference of the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Austin Litke, O.P. shares with us that God’s love does not wait for us to be good. God looks at the very worst of us and still chooses to love. That love is the beginning of every good thing, the love that called us into being and will not let us go.
Never Give Up | Fr. Andrew Hofer O.P.
At the 2025 Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage, Fr. Andrew Hofer, O.P. reminded us to never give up. Not on ourselves, our loved ones, or even our enemies. Our hope is not in our strength but in the work of God within us, made present in the sacrifice of the Mass. May we continue to hope in Our Lord through the intercession of Our Lady and the Rosary.
