The Lay Fraternities of St. Dominic are Catholic men and women, both single and married, who commit themselves to living their lives in a manner inspired by St. Dominic and the Dominican saints, in the midst of a secular world. They devote their lives to the four Dominican “pillars” of prayer, study, community, and apostolate. Collectively, this involves living and preaching the Gospel throughout their daily lives.
Through a process of formation, the Dominican Laity adopt a Rule of Life, promising to live holy lives in communion with Catholic Church, in accordance with the Dominican charism.
The chapter has met regularly since 2017. The Bloomington chapter invites others in our faith community to consider joining with them in following the life of St. Dominic and the Dominican saints. Please contact MarySue Schwab for more information.
