On 5 December, the community at Blackfriars Oxford marked the end of term with solemn Vespers and carols, followed by a reception for students and staff of Blackfriars Hall and Studium.
Above is a video montage of photos from solemn Vespers with music recorded at the service, which will give you a glimpse into our liturgical celebration.
Below are photos from the reception that followed the service:
"Blessed Jordan, worthy successor of St Dominic, in the early days of the Order, your example and zeal prompted many men and women to follow Christ in the white habit of Our Holy Father. As patron of Dominican vocations, continue to stimulate talented and devoted men and women to consecrate their lives to God. Through your intercession, lead to the Order of Preachers generous and sacrificing persons, willing to give themselves fervently to the apostolate of Truth. Help them to prepare themselves to be worthy of the grace of a Dominican vocation. Inspire their hearts to become learned of God, that with firm determination they might aspire to be 'champions of the Faith and true lights of the world'. Amen."
