The Travelling Firedog visited Caleruega, Spain: the birthplace of Saint Dominic!
Tradition states that Saint Dominic's mother was unable to have children until she made a pilgrimage to the Benedictine Abbey at Silos. After this pilgrimage, she had a dream in which a dog leapt from her womb carrying a torch in its mouth whose flames set the world on fire. Saint Dominic was the original Firedog!

Sister Mary Amata and the travelling Firedog are on their way to Spain for the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia's Jubilee Pilgrimage in the Footsteps of Saint Dominic. Sister has promised to pray for all Firedogs, past, present, and future, as she travels through Spain, France, and Italy!
Saint Dominic, pray for us. 🙏

Hats off to the Class of 2025!
