Dominicans

Dominicans are members of the Order of Preachers, a Catholic religious order founded by Saint Dominic in the early 13th century. Their primary mission is to preach the Gospel and promote education and theological scholarship. Known for their commitment to study, community life, and preaching, Dominicans often engage in pastoral work, teaching, and writing. They are recognized by their distinctive habits, typically white robes with black cloaks. The order has had a significant impact on the Church and wider society, producing influential theologians, saints, and cultural figures throughout history.
