Your financial donation enables our preaching, allowing our friars in initial formation to receive the training they need to be preachers of the Gospel, and supporting our older friars who have given their lives to the Church. Our fundraising efforts are led by the Dominican Foundation, which is the 501(c)3 advancement arm of the Province of Saint Joseph, under the direction of Father Gabriel Gillen, O.P.

HOME ABOUT LOCATIONS SUPPORT VOCATIONS NEWS CHILD PROTECTION Is He Calling you to be a Dominican friar? What is a Dominican? The Order of Preachers The Order of Preachers (The Dominicans) was established in 1216 by St. Dominic de Guzman “for preaching and the salvation of souls.” Following the Rule of St. Augustine and the Constitutions of the Order of Preachers, Dominican friars devote their lives to study, contemplation, and preaching, united by their common profession of obedience and the living of the Evangelical Counsels, in order to be effect instruments in Christ’s saving plan. MORE ABOUT THE ORDER OF PREACHERS What is a vocation? A call from Jesus Christ A vocation is a call from Jesus Christ to follow him in a particular way. Each Christian has a vocation to holiness, but the Lord calls some to follow him in consecrated life and the priesthood. Consecrated through the religious vows, Dominican friars seek to glorify God, to strive for personal sanctification, and to work for the salvation of mankind.
