"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. 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 (one of the oldest and most venerable rules, giving it a valued air of venerability and sanctity.) The life of a Dominican must begin and end with this two-fold love: the love of God that drives his whole person, and the love of neighbor that impels him to preach. 
​Four Pillars of the Order of Preachers
The Four Pillars of the Order of Preachers include:
  • Prayer
  • Study
  • Community
  • Apostolate (Mission/Service)
