Dear Fr. Timoner:
We understand that the Dominican Month of Peace for 2022 focuses the Dominican Family’s attention on the present situation in Myanmar.
In your letter to the worldwide Order, you wrote; ‘Our sisters and brothers in Myanmar have been subjected to atrocities and human rights violation which has gone unreported in the main media.
Recently, the military broke into the Dominican Sisters convent in Loikaw and encamped there while others moved into the friars’ convent. Luckily, neither the sisters nor the friars were in the convents at the time. We understand that the soldiers ransacked the rooms and took whatever was valuable.”
In light of this, we, the members of Fenwick High School’s Dominican Preaching Team will each attend one Mass and pray for the Dominican Family in Myanmar and for the establishment of peace and justice in that country as well as for the end of the war in Ukraine.
