We are the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Martin de Porres and we are committed to preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ for the salvation of souls in the Southern United States.
The 1216 Annual Fund supports our young friars in formation and friars on limited service who have given their lives as teachers, preachers, missionaries, chaplains, and pastors. Your gift creates the annual harvest to continue our mission of preaching and teaching.
The more we come to recognize God’s presence and action in our lives, the more vigilant we can be about avoiding even the small temptations to become self-centered.
In all the Dominican Order’s rich history, tradition, and vivacity that continues today, we can all point to the essential truth that Jesus Christ was alive in Dominic de Guzmán.
Along with the thousands of friars throughout the past eight centuries, we strive to live out the Order’s mottoes: Veritas (Truth) and Contemplata aliis Tradere (to give to others the fruits of our contemplation).
