advance Happy Feastday st. Dominic
yea i really need more inform about him coz i am doing my r.e project on him but the funny thing is, that i am a saint Dominic student and i do not know anything about him
pls can I get the full history of st Dominic
yea i need alittle more info cuz im doin a report on him=]
Yes, it is reported that the Blessed Mother gave St. Dominic the rosary.
I was wondering if there was any more information on saint Dominic for a report on him
it is a great story. and you are awesome.
I believe he was given the rosary by Our Blessed Mother, but I could be wrong.
I love this web site and was wondering if I could get more info on saint dominic?
He was made patron of Astronomers because he had a star shaped birthmark. But where I read that I can't remember.
would all that information be a biography?
Sophie, i was also pondering why St. Domimic was a patron saint of the astrologer. maybe we need to still research more on his life past
Sophie, I think that because of the star above his head in iconography.
I was wondering the same thing!?!
Why would he be the patron saint of Astronomers when he had nothing to do with astronomy? I went to a catholic school (St Dominic's) and I never found out why that is so. Did they just choose astronomy because there was nothing else? Does anyone know?
