Sister Mary Amata and the Travelling Firedog visited the tomb of Saint Dominic in Bologna and made friends with a fellow visitor who looked a lot like a firedog!
The Travelling Firedog visited the Basilica of Santa Sabina, the mother church of the Order of Preachers, in Rome.
Saint Dominic, Saint Thomas Aquinas, and Pope Saint Pius V all spent time at the convent next door and prayed at Santa Sabina.
Do you recognize any of the Dominican Firedogs pictured here? Once a Firedog, always a Firedog!

The Travelling Firedog enjoyed a visit to Aza, Spain: the hometown of Blessed Jane of Aza, Saint Dominic's mother. He is pictured here in front of the Iglesia de San Miguel.
Blessed Jane of Aza, pray for us! 🙏
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!

Two Firedogs met a giraffe at the University of Notre Dame! 🦒
This week, Sister Mary Amata lit a candle and prayed for St. Pius V School at the Grotto of our Lady of Lourdes at the University of Notre Dame!
She and Mrs. Brawley were on campus for the Latino Enrollment Institute through Notre Dame's Alliance for Catholic Education. God bless our Catholic schools!
We agree with this 1st grade artist!
To all our students and their families, thanks for the school year! ❤️
Happy last day of school to our Firedogs! We are so proud of all they have accomplished this year.
Today, at our awards ceremony following all-school Mass, we celebrated students who had perfect attendance this year, as well as students who earned Dominican virtues awards: the St. Catherine of Siena Award for community service, the St. Rose of Lima Award for Christian values, the St. Thomas Aquinas Award for academic excellence, and the St. Dominic Award for prayer, study, community, and preaching.
Hats off to the Class of 2025!
Once a Firedog, always a Firedog!
