(244)

This is the Official page of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans), a Roman Catholic Religious Order founded by St Dominic de Guzman and approved by Pope Honorius III on 22 Dec. 1216. The Order is made up of; Friars (priests and co-operator brothers), Contemplative Nuns, Apostolic Sisters under different congregations, members of the Secular Institutes, Priestly Fraternities and the Laity (

both adults and youths). The Order is headed by the Master of the Order who is elected by the General Chapter of the Order every 9 years and who resides at the General Curia (Headquarters) of the Order at Santa Sabina, Rome. Founded to preach the Gospel and to combat heresy, the Order lives by four main principles or pillars – Ministry, Community, Study and Prayer. The members of the Order live together in community, sharing a common life. In community, they pray, contemplate and study together. These enable them to undertake the ministry of preaching the gospel.

The Dominican Order rejoices in the recognition of Venerable Maria Petra Giordano, OP, a contemplative nun of the Monastery of Santa Maria del Sasso in Bibbiena.

On 18 June 2026, Pope Leo XIV authorized the Dicastery for the Causes of Saints to recognize her heroic virtue, an important step on the path toward beatification.

Born Nicoletta Giordano in Naples in 1912, she entered the Dominican monastery in Bibbiena at age 22 and gave her life to prayer, silence, fraternity and service. Over more than seven decades of religious life, she served as mistress of novices, prioress, and a collaborator in the renewal of the Constitutions of the Nuns after the Second Vatican Council.

Her hidden life reminds the whole Dominican family of the fruitfulness of contemplation: a life wholly given to God, sustaining the preaching of the Gospel through penance and prayer.

Venerable Maria Petra Giordano, OP, pray for us.
