International Dominicans
June 19th, 2008 by Br. Peter Totleben, OP
Every summer, the student brothers are sent out to the various priories and hoses of the province to perform a summer apostolate. Br. Bruno Shah, Br. Austin Litke, and Br. Peter Totleben are spending the summer at St. Dominic’s Priory in Youngstown, Ohio. They have been getting an experience of the international fraternity of the Dominican Order.
This summer, Fr. Zafar Iqbal, O.P. has been visiting from Pakistan. Fr. Zafar was in formation in Pakistan when friars from our province had a mission there. Everyone has enjoyed hearing about the music, culture, opportunities and challenges that the Order and the Church face in Pakistan.
Recently, the brothers also enjoyed a visit from one of the brothers of the English province. Br. Bruno Clifton, O.P. is a deacon who is expected to be ordained to the priesthood in September. He is involved with the student chaplaincy at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. The brothers got to get together and talk about what formation and the Order were like in England and the U.S.
