Domlife.org Gets a Makeover

DomLife.org has a new look. We reorganized the pages, added some new features, like links to Dominican groups, a justice section, and gave it a snappy new logo. We hope you find it easy to navigate and more representative of the four branches of the Order. There is even a new reader's poll just for fun. Look around, you will find your favorite places, like First Impressions, Faith and Film, a newly organized preacher resource section and more. Your feedback is welcome. Can't find something? Let us know and we will be sure to help. More material will be updated over time. Make suggestions. Take a Tour!
