Dominican Order

The Dominican Order is a family, composed of friars, religious and lay people.  All are called to serve the Lord in a special way, following the path of our Father, St. Dominic. 

Our lay Dominican Third Order meets in the office at OLOS on the third Saturday of each month from 12-2 PM. The four pillars of Dominican life are, prayer, study, the apostolate and community life. We study and pray so we can know God better, love Him more, and serve Him by taking the fruits of our studies to people in the community.  We love The Church because Christ founded it, and we are faithful to its teachings. Charity is great love for God and of neighbor and it is the very spirit of the Dominican Order.  Our love for God is shown through acts of spiritual and corporal mercy. Our love and concern for our members takes place at our monthly meetings when we pray, study and share.
