Introducing a new vocations website for the Order of Preacher (OP) in Vancouver and Western Canada |
St. Dominic’s zeal was motivated to preach the Gospel of salvation which is our mission as Dominicans, and the charism of St. Dominic we want to share.
To follow the footsteps of St. Dominic requires men of courage: to confront the world, to confront our communities, to confront ourselves. We are in constant need of spiritual purification. St. Dominic began with the desire to spread the Gospel, but he did not start with grandiose convents. Instead, his followers gathered in communities to pray, to study the Word of God, to preach, and to live together in community. Are you called to follow the footsteps of St. Dominic? |
