Monastery of the Blessed Sacrament

07/12/2026

This past week we enjoyed a wonderful pastoral visit with our Master General, Fr. Gerard Francisco Timoner, III, and our Provincial, Fr. Louis Morrone. We were also joined by our chaplain, Fr. David Santoro. Following a meal in our Guild Room, we met in the Community Room for more conversation. We capped the evening with the Salve Procession and Compline in the Chapel. After Mass the following morning, Fr. Gerard and Fr. Louis took the opportunity to greet the local Chapter of the Dominican Laity.

Since we last posted we've been busy. We had our annual retreat with Fr. Samuel Hakeem, O.P., as our retreat master. It was wonderful. The day before we went into retreat, Sr. Marie Grace of the Precious Blood celebrated her silver jubilee of profession. She joined us in March and has been a great blessing. Finally, July 1st was the 60th anniversary of our move from Detroit to Farmington Hills. God has been so good to us! Thank you for your love and support. YOU HAVE OURS, TOO.
