  • A Brief History of the Dominican Order in the U.S. by Sister Nona Mcgreal, O.P
    A Brief History of the Dominican Order in the U.S. by Sister Nona McGreal, O.P. [from open internet source] Members of the Dominican Order (Order of Preachers) have been on mission in the United States for more than two centuries. The mission given them by Dominic de Guzman (1170‐1221) from the founding of the Order is to proclaim the word of God by preaching, teaching and example, while they are sustained by life in common. The single mission of the Order of Preachers embraces many ministries, developed as needed to bring the word of God to persons in varying societies and circumstances. St. Dominic had this in mind when he urged the first members to identify with each culture through the use of the languages. For the same purpose he asked the meet all people as mendicants, ready to exchange gifts and necessities with others in the spirit of Jesus and the apostles. The Order of Preachers is composed of men and women of four branches: friars, who may be priests or brothers; cloistered nuns; sisters; and laity. Dominic de Guzman was called to ministry in the universal Church. His followers have proclaimed the gospel around the world to peoples never known to the founder, including those of the Americas. Early Missionaries to the United States Three centuries after the death of St. Dominic in 1221 the first Dominicans landed on the Atlantic coast with Spanish colonists, arriving in 1526 near the current site of Georgetown, South Carolina. Among them was the friar Antonio de Montesinos, whose vehement protests against the conquerors' oppression of the native peoples have been acclaimed as the first voice for liberty raised in the New World.

  • The Church in Harrodsburg1
    THE CHURCH IN HARRODSBURG1 VICTOR FRANCIS O'DANIEL, O.P. THE REV. GABRIEL GERMANN, O.S.B. Saint Andrew's Rectory, Harrodsburg, Kentucky January 14, 1948 Dear Father Germann : I am now an octogenarian, minus a few weeks. Your letter of December 15, 1947, found me in a hospital from which I returned home during the Olristmas times, and am now trying to regain my strength. It is coming back very, very slowly. For these reasons, you must not expect too much from me. Years ago I made notes from a number of talks with an old friend, now dead, who as a boy lived in Danville and often accompanied the fathers of Saint Rose's, par­ ticularly Father Joseph Thomas Ryan, on their journeys from Dan­ ville to Harrodsburg and other places. What I write you now is largely taken from those notes. I could also send you a copy of them, as they might perchance be of some help to you for your proposed good work ; but, I think, it will hardly be necessary. Catholicity in Harrodsburg is an almost untouched field, because, of course, there were long but very few of the faith there and in the vicinity. Bishop Spalding's Early Catholic Missions in Kentucky, Fa­ ther (later Bishop) Maes' Life of Father Charles N erinckx, and Ben Webb's Ceu.te1wry of Catholicit·y in Kentucky barely mention Har­ rodsburg. You witt find something of a list of the early missions of Kentucky in these three works. One is also given on pages 78-79 of my Life of Bishop Edward DomitJic Fe1Jwick, O.P.

  • Founding the Church in Tennessee
    CHAPTER 9 FOUNDING THE CHURCH IN TENNESSEE Richard Pius Miles and Joseph Thomas Jarboe, astride their horses on a bright autumn day in October 1838, rode on, often in silence through the forested areas of Kentucky and Tennessee. They left St. Rose knowing there was no turning back. Both men, usually cheerful, showed uncharacteristic solemnity. The events of the past year weighed heavily upon them. Miles had scarcely been elected head of St. Joseph Province of friars when he was named Bishop of Nashville, Tennessee. Now Father Jarboe was accompanying him to his See almost as with one going to the guillotine. The disturbing news of Miles' episcopal appointment had reached the Dominican friars in October of 1837. It caused ambivalent feelings for all concerned. They were glad that one of their most capable brothers had been named to the bishopric of Tennessee, but sad because they were so desperately in need of every priest, in the Order. Miles himself had no mixed reaction. He was determined to accept the mitre only under formal precept. He believed his loss would be too hard on the province. ". .I think there has been a strange blunder committed in my nomination ... to appoint a poor Religious, who cannot command one cent, in case he accepts, to a See where there is neither a church nor a clergyman nor any means, that I know of, to procure either."[1] Nicholas Young, never one to hide his feelings, told Bishop John Purcell of Cincinnati that he could not agree that Miles should be appointed Bishop of Nashville.
