Communities

This community is primarily to the service of the parish, chaplaincy to the parochial school and the Dominican Sisters of Fatima. One of our friars teaches full-time at the Pontifical University of Puerto Rico, Ponce Campus.

The friars of this community serve the vibrant Catholic Center at Purdue University and are known for being at the call of our diocesan brothers and the diocese at large.

Just a few minutes walking from Bayamon Central University, the only priory of the Island since 1965, houses friars serving in University teaching and administration, as well as campus ministry. For many years this community has been home to our student brothers. Being central to all of our parishes in the Bayamon area, many of our friars are involved in parish ministry as pastors or vicars. This community has been the heart of the Dominican life in Puerto Rico providing care for our brethren sick and partially retired.

In a residential neighborhood of south Minneapolis, the Dominican community currently includes 3 parish pastors, 2 college chaplains and a seminary professor. For over a half-century the spirit of St. Dominic has touched the lives of the faithful in the Twin Cities.

Dominicans are active in this Western Michigan center, in the Diocesan Tribunal, at Hope and Aquinas Colleges and at Catholic Central High School. They live together in community sharing the strategies and joys of their busy days.

Home of our student brothers and the student brothers of the Southern U.S. Province of St. Martin de Porres, this priory also runs the website "Friarly" to engage with men and women around the world and to show them the passion we bring for this friarly life as Dominicans.

Since 1889 Dominicans have served this Denver neighborhood with a parish and school. The priory has housed teachers and preachers, as well as the parish staff. In 1977 the priory became the novitiate for the province. This enhances the pastoral work of the parish and adds a second focus to the friars' ministry, crucially important to the life of the province.

In a pleasant St. Louis residential neighborhood, the friars of this house are professionally involved with educational issues such as administration, teaching and graduate studies, but also do spiritual direction and healthcare ethics and advocacy.

Located in a home in a residential neighborhood, this community is intentionally meant to be smaller. Brothers living here work in diverse ministries: high school and college education, website development, itinerant preaching, and social justice work.

Since 2005, the Dominicans in Bloomington have served at St. Paul's, the Catholic Center and parish at Indiana University. Our community primarily serves the students of Indiana University while maintaining a parish community of university faculty and staff as well as local residents committed to our mission.

St. Pius is the senior community in both time and function, a residence for the provincial administration, parish staff and many retired friars. This downtown community is also a crossroad for travelling friars. Its rich community life is enhanced by the presence of holy men with decades of ministerial history as missionaries, teachers and preachers, who serve the province by their prayers and the witness of their lives.

Once only a rectory, the enhanced house now includes parish staff, preachers, Fenwick High School personnel, chaplains, and social workers. Serving River Forest and Elmwood Park it is a pillar of Dominican presence in a neighborhood that includes Dominican University and Trinity High School. The friars are known and admired for their preaching and holy presence.
