We hold the Gospel of Jesus Christ at the heart of our ministry through our commitment the traditional pillars of the Order of Preachers: prayer, common life, study, and preaching.  Two distinctive aspects of our life are our commitment to living in community and to the Dominican tradition of chanting the Liturgy of the Hours.

We serve the people of God in the United States and in Peru, with formation programs in both countries. We also have lively relationships with other Dominicans in the U.S. and around the world, including Zambia, Nigeria, Slovakia, and Iraq.
