Advent Vespers and Party

At the beginning of December Brethren, Fellows, students, staff and friends joined together to celebrate the end of Michaelmas term and the beginning of Advent.   It was also a celebration of our close and friendly community.  Blackfriars welcomes students and scholars from all over the world, with a wide range of personal backgrounds and study/research interests. Our Dominican ethos encourages friendly intellectual engagement with others’ perspectives, in the search for objective truth. Many of our lay students value their friendships with the Dominican friars and the members of other religious orders who study for ministerial qualifications here.

We look forward to coming together again in the new year, refreshed in mind, body and spirit.
