Preachers of the Faith

The Dominican life centers around one thing — preaching the faith. True to our tradition and history, a number of friars minister as itinerant preachers, traveling extensively to proclaim the Gospel. Other friars provide pastoral care at parishes and university Newman Centers, or are engaged in missionary work with the poor and marginalized. Many friars are involved in academic ministry, researching and teaching the richness of the Catholic intellectual tradition in colleges and seminaries around the world. Finally, there are those friars who serve in specialized ministries, touching every facet of human life.
