Dominican Laity Newsletter #22

DOMINICAN LAITY Newsletter #22 June 2012 Dear Friends VISIT OF FR DAVID KAMMLER OP In the last newsletter you may have read about Teresa McNamara’s conversation with Fr David Kammler, Promoter for the Laity in the Dominican Order. David is based in Rome, but travels the world making contact with lay Dominican groups of all kinds. Fr David has now confirmed that he will visit New Zealand in February-March 2013. It is a delight and a privilege to have him with us. For three weeks he will travel about New Zealand, meeting with lay people in a variety of places, hearing our stories, seeing the kinds of work that lay Dominicans are engaged in, and speaking with us about the mission of lay Dominicans. In some places he will also speak to a wider audience about the role of the laity in the Church. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to reflect on how lay Dominicans can play a more vibrant part in the Christian mission for New Zealand.
