Mark it in your calendar, spread the word to friends and family, and dust off your placards! ✊
Last year, thousands of people took to the streets of Dublin to demand climate action and an end to our dependence on fossil fuels.
This year, we’re coming together once again to make our voices heard, organised by @stopclimatechaosire
The need for action has never been greater. We have just experienced the the hottest summer on record, and the impacts of climate change are becoming impossible to ignore. Together, we must act to stop climate chaos.

St Dominic’s Day in Capetown – August 8th 2026
On St Dominic’s Day, 8th August 2026, 26 enthusiastic spirit-filled Sisters and guests filled the Chapel in Rosary House for a celebration Mass for the Solemnity of St Dominic. Fr Roger Hickey, a retired Priest from the Archdiocese of Cape Town came to celebrate Mass with us and had a place at our table at lunch. We remembered with love at Mass, Sr Mary Hunt OP, RIP, who would have been celebrating her Diamond Jubilee with us on St Dominic’s Solemnity. She is without a doubt smiling down fron Heaven. Her sister was visiting from Ireland for a short visit and she celebrated St Dominic’s Solemnity Mass with us and also Sr Mary’s Diamond Jubilee. May Mary’s dear soul rest in God’s eternal peace.
The liturgy prepared by Sr Columbia OP was prayerful, and festive to mark the occasion. Our dining room for lunch was transformed into an exquisite banquet hall with the expertise of Deidre Beck, our Rosary House Manager and her team. Lunch prepared by our kitchen staff, was beautifully presented and very delicious making us come back for more. It felt like “Christmas in August”. We thank God for our Father St Dominic, the beauty of our Dominican Vocation, Dominican hospitality, and for a glorious, joyful day.

International Day of Indigenous Peoples
The 9th of August each year marks International Day of Indigenous Peoples. There is a saying widely attributed to Native Americans: “We do not inherit the land from our ancestors; we borrow it from our children. ” Indigenous peoples have long been the caretakers of the land. Pope Francis said of them: “Indigenous peoples are a cry of hope. They remind us that human beings have a shared responsibility in the care of the ‘common home’. … The earth suffers and indigenous peoples know of the dialogue with the earth, they know what it means to listen to the earth, to see the earth, to touch the earth. They know the art of living well in harmony with the earth”.
Indigenous Peoples manage around 25% of the world’s land, and provide environmental stewardship to at least 36% of the world’s intact forests. This short video from the UN Development Programme highlights some of the ecological knowledge that indigenous peoples bring: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=493797493689283
