Dominican Friars Australia and New Zealand

Dominican Friars Australia and New Zealand Dominican Friars Preaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in Australia, Aotearoa-New Zealand, the Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea. Fr William Loh O.P.

St Dominic founded his Order of Preachers in 1216, to respond to a desperate need for sound, orthodox preaching in the face of a fatally confused notion of God, of Christ and his Church. His vision grew as he saw the need for sound preaching for the whole Church in every age. St Dominic's age was not unlike our own - one in need of a new evangelisation with so many baptised Catholics so far from t

heir faith. The Friars Preachers were to be modern apostles, sent out to the rest of the world to preach the truth of the one God who revealed himself in the Lord Jesus, the Word made flesh. The Dominican friars of Australia and New Zealand invite you to share with us the vision of St Dominic, and the contemporary living out of that vision. We ask you to consider the Dominicans as you seek to respond to God's call in your life. We offer you the opportunity to live a joyful life in the service of the Gospel of Jesus Christ, praising his name, blessing his people, and boldly preaching his word. The spring-time of the Church needs courageous apostles! Provincial Vocations Coordinator

The Lord's feeling for the crowds and the action he takes speak to what health and holiness is. We believe health and holiness are when everything works as it is designed to do. Sickness and sin are inhibitors of the Creator’s design. We should just recognise that sickness and sin are used by God ...

"I think that your leadership will be, most importantly, about giving hope to people. Despite everything, despite all the threats, love is going to win."

In order to realise the importance of the real presence of Christ in the Eucharist one could appeal to the rather in depth theology of the Church. However the full power of what we celebrate at the altars in our Churches comes from the experience of the saints and those holy men and women who realis...

Believing in God is a risky affair. Pick the wrong one, and it's over. Israel alone enjoys the certainty of revelation: the true God made himself known to them. We know that many of our Old Testament heroes and heroines spoke with God. Moses, for example, saw the Burning Bush and was given the table...

You may have seen a movie in which a woman is in childbirth. Not much is shown, but we hear things: the mother groaning and gasping in labour, midwives offering encouragement, sounds of bystanders anxious, worried, apprehensive. And then there is one sound that resolves all the tension and brings it...
