Welcome to God's Plaining.

Contemplative Preachers, Contemporary Age.

Each week, join the Dominican friars as they consider all things Catholic.

Welcome to God's Plaining.

This is Father Gregory Pine and I'm joined here by Father

Jacob Bertrand. How you doing Father Jacob Bertrand? I'm doing well. How are you?

I too am doing well. Enjoying the start of a new school year. I know that you are the director of vocations here for the province,

so there are things that are kind of in the works, vocation-wise for the new year.

Yeah, there are a bunch of things coming up. I guess the highlight or the big things coming up for the

vocation office are our vocation weekends that come up during the academic year.

We have four of those two in the fall semester two, two in the spring semester, so our first one's

coming up in a couple weeks.

And those weekends give men an opportunity to come live with us for a few days.

Check out the life, see what Dominican life is about, what we're about,

and kind of put themselves in the place of Dominican to see, is the Lord calling them to this.

So those are the big things coming up on our calendar,

which I'm excited about looking forward to.

Nice.

Put them in a place of a Dominican.

Does that mean we hand out habits at the front door?

Just for the weekend.

Okay, perfect.
