Our very own Augustine Thompson, OP wrote a short article on the origins of Halloween. This is to counter all those Christians who would turn it into a pagan festival.



If you are interested in the Dominican Rite especially on the feast of All Soul's you can look at this website provided by Augustine Thompson, OP

Margaret Casanova along with her late husband Len, have a scholarship named after them. It is for students of the University of Oregon who participate in the Newman Center. We raise money for it during our Webfoot Gala every year. We are very happy to celebrate Margaret's birthday with her.
