Apostolic Life

Nourished by our life in common, plus many hours at study and prayer, Dominicans offer our very lives for the sake of preaching the Gospel. What we receive from the Lord, we pass on to others, so that all may come to know and love the Lord.

Like the first apostles, Dominicans are sent out to proclaim the Gospel in every time and place – evangelizing, combating heresy and error, and performing the spiritual works of mercy.

Consecrated Life

Dominicans profess obedience, and embrace a life of poverty and chastity for the sake of the Kingdom. In doing so, we strive to achieve more perfect union with God in this life, and serve as a witness to the perfect union that is to come in the next.

“In the consecrated life, Christ’s faithful, moved by the Holy Spirit, propose to follow Christ more nearly, to give themselves to God who is loved above all and, pursuing the perfection of charity in the service of the Kingdom, to signify and proclaim in the Church the glory of the world to come.” - CCC, 916
