Welcome to our Community
Our community embraces a rich history rooted in tradition and faith. Together, we embody a spirit of unity and shared purpose.
As Lay Dominicans, we celebrate our connection to the Dominican Order and our location in the heart of northeast Kansas.
How we exemplify the 4 Pillars of Dominican Life…
Prayer. We commit to daily praying the Liturgy of the Hours (morning and evening prayer), as well as the Dominican Rosary.
Study. We regularly engage in individual and group study of topics relevant to the 4 Pillars, and to our growth in sanctity as directed by the Church and our Order. Some examples include:
Aquinas 101 — Dominican House of Studies, Washington DC, USA
Community. In addition to prayer and study, we provide support for each other on the path to sainthood.
Monthly meetings - 3rd Sunday of the month at the St John the Evangelist Catholic Church in Lawrence KS. Send us a note to learn more!
Monthly online rosary - 4th Sunday at 8pm. Email to join us!
Service. For Lay Dominicans, preaching can take the form of witnessing, teaching and providing spiritual and corporal works of mercy individually and as a group.
Personal ministries — Examples include Catholic adult education (e.g., OCIA), raising our youth in the faith, prayer ministries and others.
