Secular writers often pit science against religion. Religious writers sometimes paint modern universities as fiercely hostile to any religious belief. Harvard University professor Karin Öberg, a friend of the Dominican Friars, disproves both of these simplistic narratives.

In 1897, the Dominican Friars working on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, in New York City, at the parish of St. Vincent Ferrer, opened a mission on East 68th Street and placed it under the patronage of St. Catherine of Siena, patroness of those who care for the sick.

Dominican parishes serve as major hubs for confession, offering God’s mercy to all.

Dominican parishes and Campus Ministries welcome record numbers of new Catholics.

The Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph have ordained over 65 men to the priesthood over the last decade. They have all joined generations of friars who have gone before them. The Dominican Order has an 800-year history that spans the globe due in part to how men are transformed into preachers through the formation process.
