ON FRIDAY 3 August, Archbishop Denis Hart joined the Siena College Community to celebrate the Feast of St Dominic Guzman, founder of the Dominicans and co-Patron of Siena College.

All members of the Dominican Family were represented. Sr Judith Lawson, Prioress of the Dominican Sisters, Fr Anthony Walsh O.P. and Brothers from the Camberwell Priory joined members of the College Board, staff and students to recall the many life achievements of this scholarly saint and to give thanks for the many gifts we have inherited through his legacy.

In true Dominican style we listened to the foundation of our story and joined in joyful strains to praise, bless and preach.
Following the Eucharist the Archbishop joined teachers, students and guests for morning tea and a tour of the College grounds resplendent in the glorious sunshine.

Deborah Kent  is Director of Mission, Siena College.
