Today, Plough, online magazine, published the article: The Gift of Palliative Care  by Leah Libresco Sargeant. In this brief article, Leah opens a window to look into our mission and particular way of life as members of the Dominican Order.

We are happy to welcome Tammy as a Postulant.  Please keep Tammy in your prayers as she discern her vocation as a Hawthorne Dominican.

We are very excited to share with you recent news regarding progress in Rose Hawthorne’s cause for canonization. On December 6, 2022, there was a judgement made by the Theological Consultants in Rome after reviewing Mother’s writings and life. We received news on December 9th from the postulator that her positio (the document which reviews her life and works) “has been judged by the Theological Consultants of the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints with 9 out of 9 positive regarding the heroicity of the Virtues.” This is a very big step and very exciting news!
We thank you all for your prayers and support to help us get here and ask you to join us in thanking God for this move forward, and to keep praying for the advancement of her cause. The next step is a judgement among the Dicastery Bishops and Cardinals and then to our Holy Father Pope Francis. If he approves her life as one of heroic virtue, then she will be declared Venerable Rose Hawthorne (Mother Mary Alphonsa).
May God bless you and let us continue to be united in prayer!
