Father Dominic is a Catholic priest who baptizes Sybil Branson in 1920.
After the photographer who photographed the family at the Christening suggests a photo of the baby with Robert and Violet, he also has Father Dominic come in the picture, which makes both Robert and Violet a little nervous.
Cora asks Robert jokingly if he's afraid he'll be converted when he's not looking. He and his mother manage, as the photograph is taken.
Notes
- Tom tells Mary he's taken care of the arrangements for Sybbie's christening with the Catholic church in Ripon, so this is where Father Dominic preaches.
- Though never confirmed, it is possible Tom attended church in Ripon when he first lived at Downton, so he may have known Father Dominic prior to the Christening.
