My mother is a Dominican who meets with her fellow Dominicans at a local parish. She was informed that her "group" isn't welcome there anymore because they don't "do" anything for the parish. I think that translated means "give us lots of money". It is a small group and they don't take up much room or scheduling so honestly, I don't get it. I just feel bad for her because I have to believe there are many parishes that would welcome such an orthodox, committed and prayerful group. I pray they will find another home. The things that go on in some parishes(in this diocese) never cease to amaze me. What floors me is there is a local VOTF group that meets at a local parish with no problem. Also scouts(I'm not equating scouts with VOTF, don't yell at me) and other more secular groups. It's not like Dominicans are crazy banshees that worship a voodoo god. If you are a Dominican and reading this(even if you are not), say a little prayer for this group.
