Mission Statement
We belong to the international community of Friars Preachers, called
by the Roman Catholic Church to evangelize in the name of Jesus Christ, especially in the Western
United States and in some foreign missions.
In cities and
university communities particularly, we manifest special concern for faith issues, justice, peace,
and outreach to those not touched by the Church’s common ministry.
Our
distinctive Dominican charism is nourished by our common life in priories, which sustains
liturgical prayer, encourages simplicity, fosters contemplative study, and guarantees democratic
government.
