Our Lady of La Naval Lay Dominican Fraternity

Happy Feast Day of St. Dominic!
Today, we honor St. Dominic de Guzmán (1170–1221), founder of the Order of Preachers, whose life was marked by deep prayer, love for the poor, and devotion to the Holy Rosary. God worked many wonders through him—multiplying food for his hungry brothers, bringing the dead back to life, and healing the sick through his prayers. His mission of preaching the truth continues to inspire us to live in faith, hope, and charity.

Viva Santo Domingo! Ave Maria! Vivat Jesus!
