It is hard to compare with the United States not knowing the set up there, but I think that for Br Thomas and I being in Hong Kong is a better option than if we had undertaken a Novitiate in Australia. Here we have a large Novititate group, and a house that is focused on our formation. In Australia, due to the size of province, we we be in a Parish and our formation would need to blend with that of the parish life and the availability of friars. <BR/><BR/>Yet again, thanks for the question and I hope my response has answered it for you.<BR/><BR/>Br KarlKarlhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01872678771704226287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7349647620628217022.post-19259885047478854682008-02-07T16:38:00.000+11:002008-02-07T16:38:00.000+11:00Br Karl, would you prefer your novitiate in Australia or Hong Kong, or what about the USA, I hear the Dominicans are pretty big over there?Billynoreply@blogger.com
