"Be who God intended you to be and you will set the world on fire."  
​St. Catherine of Sienna

Preaching from the pulpit of our lives...
Dominican Spirituality
Lay Dominican life is all about having a passion for the Word of God and a desire to preach the good news in their daily lives. The Dominican Laity are fully integrated members of the Order of Preachers, founded by St. Dominic. As individuals and as a community we seek to share God's Word according to our gifts and abilities, and the urging of the Holy Spirit.
​Our Rule of Life
St. Dominic chose to adopt the Rule of St. Augustine. The life of a Dominican must begin and end with a  two-fold commitment to love: the love of God that drives their whole person, and the love of neighbor that impels them to preach.  The members of the St. Mary Magdalene Chapter seek to live this mission in their own unique ministries and come together to nurture each other.
​Four Pillars of the Order of Preachers
Our Religious Assistant, fr. Jude Siciliano, O.P. guides our chapter in living out the Four Pillars of the Order of Preachers:
  • Prayer
  • Study
  • Community
  • Apostolate (Mission/Service)
