Dominican Friars

of Eastern Africa

A community called to preach Jesus Christ as part of the
worldwide mission of the Order of Preachers

Who are we ?

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. In Kenya, we are present in Nairobi and Kisumu Archdiocese and Ngong diocese. In Uganda, we are present at Kakumiro-Kibaale and Namugongo-Kampala.

In the meditation for the 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time, Year A, we reflect on Jesus’ words, “Render therefore to Caesar the things that are Caesar’s, and to God the things that are God’s” (Matthew 22:21). The readings remind us that earthly authority carries a responsibility to serve humanity, uphold justice and protect human dignity. Our faith should guide our political, social and economic responsibilities. Like King Cyrus, who was entrusted with a mission to liberate God’s people, we are called to use our influence to promote peace, defend the vulnerable and glorify God through faith, charity and hope.

Sunday Reflections

Insights of St. Thomas Aquinas offer a profound lens through which we explore the Sunday readings. Here, we share reflections rooted in his teachings, inviting a deeper understanding of scripture and faith.
