Sunday, February 7, 2021, 5:30 AMMosaic TV on the Order of Preachers: the Dominicans
KPIX television Channel 5, CBS Bay Area
The priests, brothers, and sisters who wear the initials O.P. after their names, for Ordinis Praedicatorum, have been in service and in leadership in the Archdiocese of San Francisco from the very beginning: The Dominicans’ western province was founded in 1850, and when this Archdiocese was created in 1853, it was Joseph Alemany, O.P., who was named Archbishop.
On this episode of Mosaic, two Dominican friars, Fr. Michael Hurley (pastor of St. Dominic Parish in San Francisco) and Fr. James Moore (Vicar for Advancement for the Western Province) discuss their order’s mission, its history of more than eight centuries, the challenges and opportunities in preaching the Gospel to a post-modern culture, and the robust success of the Order of Preachers here in the west, both in religious vocations and in parish life. This episode of Mosaic originally aired on March 3, 2019.
