Order of Preachers

The Order of Preachers, commonly known as the Dominican Order, is a Roman Catholic religious order founded by Saint Dominic in the early 13th century. Its primary mission is to preach the Gospel and teach the faith, emphasizing the importance of intellectual engagement and study. Dominicans are known for their commitment to education, theological scholarship, and community life. They wear a distinctive habit of a white robe with a black cape, symbolizing their devotion to truth. Today, the Order continues to be involved in various ministries, including education, social justice, and pastoral work across the globe.
