The Call
Vocations find their true meaning in Christ
Three young men share their stories as they are just days away from receiving an irreversible grace of being ordained priests. They speak about how they were influenced by others and how they could not avoid the call from God to be men who serve others.

Christmas Scenes - Part Eight - LA, Anchorage and Las Vegas
Our Community in Anchorage has had a very white winter. Some parts of the area have had over sixteen feet of snow. Fortunately for Holy Family Cathedral the snow does not seem to have gotten that deep and the liturgical and ministerial life continues unbroken.
Our community in Los Angeles has already graced our site. Their creche formed the banner during the Octave of Christmas. Here we see a more complete view of that creche.
The Las Vegas ministry at the University erected this creche, which could be seen from the outside as well as from the interior of the Newman Center.
The alternate presentation is this picture of a smaller creche. Notice that the "stable" seems the same size in both.

Mission West:
Campaign for Dominican Friars
Simple, Safe, Secure
Donations made easy
Mission West: Campaign for Dominican Friars is a capital campaign which will raise critical funds to support our mission of evangelization and preaching the gospel. It all begins by forming and educating our novices and student brothers to become excellent priests and brothers. We must also care for our aging friars in their retirement. This is why our new, three-year effort to raise $15 million is subtitled Campaign for Dominican Friars.

Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology - Tradition Today
At DSPT we are a community engaged in study that is rooted in tradition and provides answers to today's challenges.
"Undoubtedly one of the strengths of the Dominican School of Philosophy and Theology is the ability it fosters in its students to dialogue, on the intellectual level, with contemporary society ....The faculty is both academically prepared and doctrinally sound."
