originally established in 1216 to follow in the footsteps of Saint Dominic. The Dominican Friars of
the Province of St. Martin de Porres have served the Southern United States since 1979. Inspired
by the charism of their patron, Saint Martin de Porres, these preachers are animated by their
common life and study and remain committed to proclaim God's Word in pulpits and in print, in
classrooms and in the media and arts, in the Southern United States and beyond.
