Some have asked if we are "returning" to the Dominican Rite. On the contrary, we are moving "forward!" The Province of St. Joseph follows the Novus Ordo of the Roman Rite in all its priories, houses and parishes. A number of our friars (both priests & student friars) are carefully learning to celebrate the Dominican rite. As was said on our tutorial site, the Dominican liturgy is not to be understood as a rival to the Novus Ordo, which remains the Ordinary Form of the Mass, but as a supplement to enrich our liturgical life with the treasures of our tradition, consistent with the express wishes of the Second Vatican Council (Sacrosanctum Concilium 4). Other questions could be answered in a document recently written: Q&A: Ecclesiae Universae and the Dominican Rite.
For more information about the Dominican Rite check out Dominican Liturgy, a blog from a friar of the Western Dominican Province.
