Saint Dominic was a legend of his time. Eight-hundred years later, his legacy is more vibrant than ever.

As we reflect on the four major tenets of the Dominican charism —prayer, study, community, and ministry— our congregation is offering you a way to give a special emphasis to prayer over the next nine days.

We’re happy to introduce a 9-Day Prayer Journey Inspired by St. Dominic. The novena, which is free, will come straight to your inbox each day. Inspired by the life of Saint Dominic, it includes daily reflections, passages from Scripture, snippets from Saint Dominic’s life, and quotes from Saint Dominic himself.

Back in Prouille, France, the first-ever Dominican nuns lived in silence and contemplation. Today, Dominicans live out both active ministries and lives of quiet contemplation. Regardless of where you are in life, we hope that this reflection will help you to draw closer to God each day.
