PREACHING

In complementarity with brothers, sisters and nuns, Lay Dominicans share the charism of St. Dominic through study, prayer, preaching and fraternal life. Community is what makes Dominicans uniquely Dominican, because it infuses everything else. A Dominican is best formed by the way the individual fits into a group and becomes part of a fraternity’s ethos.

If you are interested in a community that shares the values of joy, fraternity, prayer, deepening of faith, and witness, in the manner of St. Dominic, that is, in a spirit of openness and dialogue, you are welcomed to join!
