The Dutch Dominicans

Thanks to Michael P. for posting the matter on the Dutch Dominicans. And thanks to Steve B. for his follow-up.

As one MOJ contributor who is ordained in the presbyteral order, I would like to ask my Dutch Dominican colleagues a question about their availability to celebrate the Eucharist in the parishes where there is a need. Perhaps they are doing this, but it is not clear from what Michael said or from The Tablet article that he linked if they have cleared their weekend calendars in order to be available to celebrate Mass in those places where the need is greatest. But maybe this is simply my Jesuit instinct reacting. I am also Jesuit educated (yes, indeed, Georgetown, like Michael), but I am also a Jesuit. While I have no Dominican relatives, I was a chaplain to a convent of Dominican sisters for twelve years.   RJA sj
