Welcome

The friars of the Western Dominican Province warmly welcome you to our website.  In 1850, two friars and one sister headed West to California to begin new Dominican roots and share our Catholic faith.  We seek to preach the truth and be servants of the people of God.  Please explore our menu seen at the top of our web pages.  There are over 1,000 web pages in this site, links to over twenty other web sites of various ministries in our province, and links to other interesting external sites as well.  We hope you enjoy your visit and invite you to visit often, as we are always releasing new featured stories, videos, photos, and news.
