The Order of Preachers, the Dominicans, were founded in 1216 by St. Dominic de Guzman, in response to a grave need in the church for informed preaching. He adapted the structure of monastic life so that his friars were free to move wherever their preaching was needed. Our tradition of spirituality is rooted in common life, liturgical prayer and meditation, study, and ministry of the Word.
The Dominicans continue to draw upon their origins and the charism of St. Dominic to serve as preachers of the Gospel. To be a Dominican is to be part of a family that includes cloistered nuns, ordained and non-ordained friars, religious sisters and laity.
We are teachers, artists, theologians, evangelists, spiritual guides, musicians, scientists, philosophers, pastoral ministers, missionaries,workers for social justice, involved in media and communications, contemplatives- all brother and sister Preachers bringing our talents and skills to bear on the ministry for which we were founded.
