The Dominican family constitutes a world-wide community of men and women who participate in the spirit, practices, and works of the Order. The Lay Dominicans is a branch of the Order open to lay Catholics active in their faith that wish to deepen their spiritual lives under the guidance of the Dominican family.

Being a Lay Dominican involves study and training with the assistance of the local Chapter and a Dominican religious assistant. Those who profess to the Order, commit to living out their daily lives under the Order’s charisms of prayer, study, apostolic works, and community life. Monthly meetings provide an opportunity to be challenged by 800 years of Dominican spirituality as well as sharing and enjoying each other’s company.

The St. Catherine of Siena Chapter of the Lay Dominicans has been a full member of the Western Dominican Province since July 8, 1995, with our first professions on August 8, 1995 (Feast of St. Dominic). A formation program for inquirers takes place yearly. Lay Dominicans include men and women over the age of 18, who are married, single, widowed, or divorced.

Communion and Liberation is an ecclesial movement whose purpose is the education to Christian maturity of its adherents and collaboration in the mission of the Church in all spheres of contemporary life. It began in Italy in 1954 when Fr. Luigi Giussani established a Christian presence in a Milan high school. Communion and Liberation is today present in about seventy countries throughout the world.
There is no type of membership card, but only the free participation of persons. The basic instrument for the formation of adherents is weekly catechesis, called School of Community.
