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!
