Hundreds of Dominicans living in St. Thomas USVI gathered at the Holy Family Catholic Church on Sunday November 10, 2013 for a grand Eucharistic Celebration in observance of Dominica’s 35th anniversary of Independence.
Catholic Priest Fr. Herman Sharplis was the main celebrant and he delivered a very thought provoking homily.
The Dominica Association of St. Thomas organized the day’s event and after the Mass Dominicans very treated to Lunch. The Church Service was carried live both in Dominica and St. Thomas.
The event was attended by Dominican students at the University of the Virgin Islands as well as a delegation from Tortola and St. Johns.
See photos below of the event.

My God! why can’t we keep the cultural colours and design.They are beautiful but please do not throw about the white over the jupe.
I am very happy to see this I just wish the photographer had taken pics from different angles. Kept seeing pics from the same side. Nonetheless pretty outfits and happy to see Dominicans celebrating overseas.
Papa Met! Couldn’t we just say Congratulations!
Beautiful! So what is the purpose of criticizing
their outfit and mentioning what outfit they should have wirn. Can’t we see the smiles on their faces celebrating their culture. To all of them I say Thank U !Beautiful ,God bless u all and our Beautiful Country.
African Queen get your information correct you all are to political the Dominica Association of STT paid for the Priest to comes to celebrate with us Skerrit nor the Government of Dominica had any thing to do with that so play your politics on something else
Good information!.
Very Nice.
When will the Dominican Association in Toronto show us pictures from the very first flag raising of the Commonwealth of Dominica Flag that was held at City Hall in Toronto where the Hon.Vince Henderson and his lovely wife were in attendence, also the wonderful Independence Chruch Service where Pastor. Lovelace St.John was the main speaker he was dynamite,readers of DNO would like to know !
Agreed! I would love to see a pic of Mr. Henderson with his wife…I dont think theres a pic on the internet of them together. Who is his wife anyway?
Sad to say that our culture has become so tainted that even our national wear is not important. No one is wearing the original outfit. WHAT A SHAME!!!
There were a couple persons who wore the original wob – I was at the service…..guess the photographer just did not snap a pic
Some of us are too quick to call shame upon our fellow Dominicans overseas
we must do things correctly.
you are very right when you said they were persons wearing the national wear though I was not present but one can see on some of the pictures
So quick to judge. Were you even at the service? People like you waste much needed resources! Please afford someone else the opportunity to use your internet access and exhale for a moment!
Truly a shame. what are these bright yellow blouses about?
If we have a national wear, let us do justice to it.
that’s wat they using tax payers money to do , to send them priest to campaign in St Thomas. wat happen Skerrit thinks dominica is his own
It is all these negative comments that divides us
as a country!
What is wrong with you. When you don’t know something, ask a question. Stop politicising everything for God’s sake.
Do you pay tax in Dominica? Skeritt did NOT send Sharplis to St. Thomas. So what if he did?
My God , can’t you understand English: The people from St. Thomas sent the ticket for the Priest to come over to do the mass.
Skerrit has nothing to do with that.
