Bonus tu et Beneficus | You are Good and You Do Good

Our Holy Father Dominic wanted his order to be poor. He wanted us to live by the words of Christ, “If you wish to be perfect, go, sell what you have and give to the poor . . . Then come, follow me” (Matt 19:21).

Six Men Profess Simple Vows

God continues to do amazing things through our Province! On August 15, the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, six Dominican friars made simple vows at our parish of St. Gertrude’s in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Always Be a Loving Father

“In January the Prior Provincial called me and asked me to become the pastor,” Fr. Paul said. “I was overjoyed and honored.”

Why Did St. Dominic Take His Shoes Off?

Brother John of Spain tells us that Dominic “used to get great delight from anything untoward that happened to him on the way. For example, if he tripped over a stone his face would light up as he said, ‘This is doing penance!’”

“A Priest Forever” | Moments from the 2024 Priesthood Ordinations

With the recent ordination of five of our brothers to the priesthood of Jesus Christ, so many souls will encounter the mercy of Christ in the confessional, so many souls will receive the Eucharist at the Masses they celebrate, and so many souls will discover the riches of the Catholic intellectual tradition (especially the Thomist tradition) through their preaching!

Letter from the Executive Director

This year we thank God for the ordination of five Dominican friars to the priesthood of Jesus Christ. Throughout their lives each of these men will preach the saving truth of Jesus Christ, baptize, absolve sins, and celebrate Mass for many thousands of souls.

A Hidden Ministry

Fr. Frassati said it goes a long way when someone speaks your language. “To be a priest who’s able to communicate in their language is to see that there is a care.”

It’s Eucharistic Revival Time

Eucharistic procession through a city or any location is not just about publicly showing off, but has a deep spiritual meaning for each pilgrim, each disciple, to walk behind the Lord, to follow him to a life of blessedness.

Join us for the Second Annual Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage on Sept. 28!

Join the Dominican Friars and Sisters and thousands of pilgrims at the upcoming national Dominican Rosary Pilgrimage!

Fruits of Contemplation

As he tells the story, it simply dawned on Fr. James Brent, O.P., one Christmas Octave several years ago that God wants to raise up contemplative souls in the Church—people who have truly heard, and take seriously, the universal call to contemplative prayer.

“Holy Mother Church Asks You to Ordain These Men”

Saint Thomas Aquinas says that the sacrament of Holy Orders is necessary for the Church, for otherwise the people would collapse. The Ordination Mass demonstrates that the Church is strong!

Engulfed in Fire and Blood

Saint Catherine wrote thirty-seven of these fiery exhortations to Dominican friars. In them, she invites and implores her brethren to discover, to be immersed in, and to preach the transforming power of Christ’s Passion.
