  • Lay Dominician
    Saturday, February 11, 2023, 10:00 AM - 1:45 PM
    Lay Dominician
    Lay Dominicians are committed Catholics seeking to live a richer spiritual life in the world through formation in the charisms of St. Dominic and the 800-year-old order he founded.  St. Dominic's life was marked by two driving passions: the salvation of souls trapped in sin, and the proclamation of Truth to those trapped by falsehood.  If you share these passions, then perhaps you have a vocation to the lay Dominician life! Meetings are at Donahue Academy every second Saturday, from 10am-1:45pm.  If interested, please contact Ina Carr at laydominicanavemaria(at)gmail.com.
