Friends of St. Albert the Great Priory

On A Mission Together - Donate Today

Thank you for your partnership and prayers for this vital mission.

St. Albert the Great Priory & Novitiate is a unique community in the Province of St. Martin de Porres due to its designation as a House of Formation. In this community, young men live out their first year as a Dominican friar as they discern their vocation as a Dominican priest or brother. Your donations help us form young men into your future priests and brothers.

St. Dominic founded the Order of Preachers, the Dominicans, in 1216, sending his friars to Europe’s great university cities to pray, study, and preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ. These priests and brothers supported their preaching by begging. More than 800 years later, Dominican friars continue to preach, teach, and pray in more than 100 countries, still relying on help along the way.

St. Dominic wanted his friars to be mendicants (beggars). This form of voluntary poverty freed up the friars, enabling them to dedicate themselves totally to study and preaching. St. Dominic also knew this form of religious life could not survive without faithful friends and benefactors.

Dominicans ask questions, keeping the Church alive while helping her think. Great challenges to our faith invite the very best minds to be in dialogue with these spiritual and moral questions. Dominicans help answer the questions all Catholics long to understand, allowing them to enthusiastically embrace their faith in our rapidly changing world. We share our contemplation and study with others, above all through preaching which continues to be our priority. With your donation, you support our mission.

Thank you!
