For more than 800 years, the Dominican Order has shared the light of Christ through prayer, study, community, and preaching. As Lay Dominicans, we live out this mission in the midst of everyday life—bringing the Gospel to our families, workplaces, and communities. Inspired by our founder, St. Dominic, we strive to live the Order’s motto: To Praise, To Bless, To Preach.

Whether you’re just curious about the Dominican charism or discerning a deeper call, we’re glad you’re here. This website is designed to help you learn about the Lay Dominican vocation, discover opportunities to grow in faith, and connect with local fraternities in the St. Louis area.

Above all, our life is centered on Jesus Christ, the Truth we seek and proclaim. We invite you to explore, ask questions, and consider whether God might be calling you to join us in this joyful way of following Him.
