Dominican Order

The Dominican friars at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C., belong to the eastern United States Dominican Province of St. Joseph. We invite you to learn more about our worldwide Dominican family, the Order of Preachers.

Since the time of St. Dominic, more than 800 years ago, Dominicans have been living and sharing the message of the Gospel. Today thousands of sisters, nuns, priests, brothers, associates, and laity, minister in more than 100 countries around the globe.
