The Dominicans are an order of Catholic priests and brothers founded by St. Dominic de Guzman in 1216 in response to the need for effective preaching against the heretical teachings of the Albigensians. St. Dominic established a new form of religious life where friars would live communally and balance prayer, study, and preaching. The Dominicans make study of theology a priority and see preaching as being rooted in deep knowledge and love of the Gospel. Their lives revolve around prayer, community, intellectual pursuit, and active ministry.
