A Sacred Season of Faith and Care

2025 marks the Tenth Anniversary of Laudato Si’, Pope Francis’ call to care for our common home.

As we enter Lent, we are invited into a season of renewal — to reflect, seek forgiveness, and share with those in need. This spirit of care and compassion connects us with creation, with one another, and with people of faith around the world.

The Laudato Si’ Action Committee has prepared a special collection of Lenten reflections to guide your journey.

Who are the Dominicans?

The Order of Preachers, abbreviated OP, is also known as the Dominicans, after our founder, St. Dominic. The Dominicans were the first itinerant order, leaving the monastery to preach the truth of the gospel and Christ’s love.

The first Dominican institution was a convent in the French city of Prouille. The order was founded in 1215 in Toulouse, France.

The first Dominican women religious in America were our foremothers, the Dominican Sisters of St. Catharine, founded in 1822 in Kentucky.

We are grateful to Suzanne Wong for her image of Signadou. Signadou (from the French, meaning ‘sign of God’) is the site in Fanjeaux, Southern France, where St Dominic’s vision for the Dominican Order began to unfold. We are blessed by Suzanne’s preaching.
