What do we look like?
Here are some photos from our 2007 National Convention at beautiful Galong in rural NSW.
Also, here are some (older) snaps from a happy occasion, when Fr Tom Cassidy, Prior Provincial, presided at the Final Profession recently of several Dominican Laity in Melbourne. The receptions were received by the local President, Peg Dooley DL. Click here for some photos of three of the professions (Martin Hennesy-Smith, Helen Frank and Peter Anderson) on St Pius V's Feast, 30th April, 2004.
