Letters from a Novice

Over the course of his Novitiate Br Sebastian Condon OP sent regular 'letters' home to the local Catholic newspaper. Covering everything from the centrality of study within Dominican life to the new perspective that mendicant poverty lends to meal times these 'letters' proved so popular that it was decided to compile them into one volume. The fascinating glimpse these twelve 'letters' provide into life within the Order of Preachers helps to explain the continuing vitality of the Dominicans after more than 800 years of dedicated service to the Word of God.
