That's great Danny! I was giving a report last Saturday in our chapter meeting about how St. Dominic was so moved by St. Francis' vow of poverty and influenced by his spirit of mendicancy. It's awesome to think that two of the greatest saints met and lived during the same time.
God bless the new chapter!
There's a great post of RJN's commencement speech at the Dominican House in DC at firstthings.com--includes your famous Dominicans vs. Jesuits quote!
I get to go to my first CATHOLIC Franciscan chapter on June 10--it's every 2nd Saturday. WOO HOO!
What a great speech! Thanks for pointing it out.
Good luck at your first Catholic Franciscan chapter! I'm sure it will be great!
I can't wait until I can go to the Dominican Chapter meetings in the fall!
YOU'RE KIDDING ME! Tell me more...when/where? And I thought I was gonna have to go to Youngstown.
Oh...and I have a story with regards to that legend, which I've heard before (in different form)...remind me and I'll tell you in person. Too personal for the web.
Danny,
Found the link below...which tells a still different version of the legend from what I've heard or what the version you mentioned says...and this is from an official Order of Preachers site:

Interesting though, eh?
great stuff!
Thanks Tom!
Danny,
Do you have any information you could pass on about the new OP chapter?
If you'd prefer to email me rather than post it, I'll leave that up to you.
Tom Reagan
Hey Tom,
The New Chapter is going to start in the Fall. I think it meets at Holy Family Parish in Steubenville. I don't know too much about it, but the moderator is Catherine Heck, TOP who works at Franciscan U. Her email is:
check@franciscan.edu
I'm sure she would be able to answer any questions you would have!
