We are the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Martin de Porres and we are committed to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the salvation of souls in the Southern United States.
The 1216 Annual Fund supports our young friars in formation and friars in limited service who have given their lives as teachers, preachers, missionaries, chaplains, and pastors. Your gift creates the annual harvest to continue our mission of preaching and teaching.
In an area encompassing eleven southern states, we minister to the needs of people in every stratum of society – rich and poor, young and old, all walks of life. Click below to find out more about our ministries.
The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord concludes the celebration of the Christmas season. After today, our churches will take down their festive Christmas decorations including the prominence of the manger scene. The baptism of Jesus marks the shift in the focus of the liturgical year from the infant Jesus to the adult Jesus. The heavenly voice proclaims Jesus to be "my beloved Son." With his baptism in the Jordan by John, Jesus begins his adult ministry of preaching, teaching, and healing. He proclaims the Kingdom of God in word and deed.
The goal of every disciple of Jesus is to disciple another person. By baptism we are all Evangelizers. How do you disciple a man or woman? Jesus' typical call to the seekers of his day was, "Follow me!"
Lepers and Wise Men? Who would have thought the light of the Epiphany would shine on both, so strategically close together in the liturgy? We’re tempted to assume there is some mistake in the choice of this Gospel for the Friday after Epiphany…
We would like to invite you to join us for a Lenten Retreat entitled Joseph, Father of the Redeemer and Spiritual Guide to the Redeemed lead by Fr. Marty Iott, O.P.
Along with the thousands of friars throughout the past eight centuries, we strive to live out the Order’s mottoes: Veritas (Truth) and Contemplata aliis Tradere (to give to others the fruits of our contemplation).
