✨ A bright day for the mission of the Church and for the Dominican family! ✨

These images of the diaconal ordination of Fr. Lamphone Phonevilay, O.P., at Saint-Dominique Church in Quebec City, bear witness to a moment marked by deep joy, solemnity, and hope. Through each gesture of the ritual, we perceive a heart that offers itself fully to Christ and to the mission entrusted to the Order of Preachers: to proclaim the Word, to serve with humility, and to bring God's compassion to all.

Rooted in the missionary zeal of St. Dominic, this new ministry reminds us that the Gospel continues to inspire generous responses and to form servants ready to carry its light to the peripheries. May this ordination also rekindle in us the desire to walk together, to preach by our lives, and to build communities where truth, charity, and fraternity shine forth.
