Dominican Life Today

The Holy Preaching

Dominican life is lived out in the context of the Holy Preaching and is rooted in the four pillars of prayer, study, community and ministry.

 

 

The Four Pillars

of Dominican Life

    PRAYER

    STUDY

    MINISTRY

    COMMUNITY

 
  • Dominic the founder of the Dominican Order exhorted his followers to live always in the presence of God.
  • Dominic also exhorted his followers to be joyful.  For this reason St. Dominic is referred to as "joyful friar."
  • Today, we his followers follow his example and engage in the Holy Preaching joyfully and truthfully as we live out his message in a variety of ways.  Each of us brings unique gifts to the Holy Preaching.
  • Today you find Dominicans engaged in the Holy Preaching in parishes, schools, universities, health care, retreat work, social justice arenas and in communities centered on living a contemplative life.
