Jubilee Vestments

Mass celebrated in Saint Mary's
Cathedral Sydney celebrated
by Archbishop Fisher OP.

In August 2021, in the midst of a COVID Pandemic lockdown, the Order of Preachers in Australia celebrated the Jubilee of the death of Saint Dominic.  A special set of vestments was commissioned with the Saint Bede Studio for this Jubilee and was used at a Mass celebrated in Saint Mary's Cathedral by the Archbishop of Sydney, Most Rev'd Anthony Fisher OP.  The vestments are now in the care of the Dominican Community at Glebe, an inner-city suburb of Sydney.

These ample vestments were made from a lovely silk brocade in colours of white and muted gold.  They were ornamented in the Roman manner with a TAU formed from one of the Studio's braids, Saint Columba, outlined with a golden galloon.  The vestments were fully lined in a rust red taffeta.
