Who are the Dominicans?

The Order of Preachers, also known as the Dominicans, was founded by Dominic de Guzman in the 13th century. The founding of the order was a bold experiment that integrated contemplation and rigorous study with an itinerant life of teaching and preaching. This is our charism, our gift.
