Dear Parishioners,
As we enter the month of September, we are reminded of a special observance within our Catholic tradition – the celebration of September as the Month of the Bible. This month is dedicated to deepening our connection with the Holy Scriptures, the living Word of God, which is central to our faith and daily lives. Why September? This tradition is closely linked to the feast of St. Jerome, which we celebrate on September 30th. St. Jerome, a Doctor of the Church, devoted his life to the study and translation of the Bible, making it accessible to the faithful. His work reminds us of the invaluable role the Scriptures play in our spiritual journey. How Can We Participate? During this month, we encourage you to engage in the following practices to honour and embrace the Word of God in a more fulfilling way. Bible Enthronement: Consider placing your Bible in a prominent location in your home as a sign of its importance in your life. Bible Study and Reflection: Participate in Bible study sessions every Tuesday during the month of September at 6.30pm. These gatherings offer an opportunity to explore the Scriptures more deeply and to share insights with fellow parishioners. Daily Bible Reading: Set aside time each day to read and reflect on passages from the Scriptures. This daily practice will help deepen your relationship with God and provide guidance in your daily life. Listen to the word of God on our Youtube Channel with our Lectors: We are excited to announce that throughout September, our lectors will be reading the Word of God , Monday to Friday, on our podcast, which is available on our YouTube channel. – st.Dominic Barbados. Make sure to subscribe and tune in daily! A Call to Renewal This month is a time for us to renew our commitment to the Bible, not just as a sacred text but as a living Word that continues to guide and inspire us. Let us take this opportunity to immerse ourselves in the Scriptures, allowing God's Word to speak to our hearts and transform our lives. May this Month of the Bible bring you closer to God and deepen your faith as we journey together in His Word. Blessings, Fr. Andy |

Our Community January 2023 and March 2023
The St. Dominic’s Church Community
stands today as a testimony of the strong will and hard work of the founding members and of the efforts by a small group of fervent Catholics to secure a parish church for parishioners in the Maxwell, Christ Church area within the Diocese of Bridgetown.
Besides its regular parishioners, the church also serves many Catholic tourists who vacation at several of the hotels in the area, some of whom, as repeat visitors, look forward eagerly to attending Sunday Mass when they visit. The parish currently has a diverse congregation of many national, cultural and ethnic origins. The parish has been served from its inception by Priests of the Dominican Order but at present is served since 2008 by Pallottine Priests of the Society of the Catholic Apostolate (St. Vincent Pallotti).
