The Dominican family is composed of Dominican Friars, Nuns, Sisters, Laity and Youths. We share a common heritage in the spirit and charism of St. Dominic.

Ascension Sunday - Year A
The Solemnity of the Ascension of the Lord invites us to reflect on Christ’s glorious return to the Father and His enduring presence in the life of the Church. Before ascending into heaven, Jesus commissioned His disciples to proclaim the Gospel to all nations, assuring them that He would remain with them always. The Ascension is therefore not a moment of separation, but a celebration of hope, mission, and divine promise. As believers, we are called to continue Christ’s work on earth through faith, witness, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, while keeping our hearts fixed on the eternal kingdom prepared for us.
