"It is not uncommon for Father Patrick Briscoe to be mistaken for anything but what he is - a Dominican priest. His white, ankle-length tunic, the habit of the Order of Preachers, tends to be a dead giveaway.
"Newly ordained to the Catholic priesthood, Father Briscoe is among about 100 Dominicans who live and work in the Washington area as part of the Province of St. Joseph. . . .
"The order is seeing increased vocations, has a vibrant college campus ministry across the country, and even has a celebrity of sorts at Catholic Answers. . . .
"It-s a good time to celebrate 800 years, something Dominicans around the world began doing with the official kickoff of their jubilee last November, which runs through Jan. 21, 2017."
A recent National Catholic Register article reported on the Dominicans and the order's jubilee celebration.
