St. Dominic was
born in caleruega, Spain, about 1170. His Apostolic Zeal
of preaching and saving souls brought him to Toulouse,
France, where the Albigensian heresy was rampant. In
1216, he founded the Order of Preachers, also known as
the Dominican Order, to combat heresy through preaching
and teaching. He died at Bologna, Italy, on August 6,
1221, only five years after he founded the Order.
Many religious congregations of women affiliated
themselves to the Order after they have been found to be
living its spirit and charism. On July 15, 1925, Most
Rev. James McCloskey, the last American bishop of Jaro,
Iloilo City, Philippines went to Rome, Italy, to
personally submit to the Sacred Congregation for
Religious a petition for the foundation of a new
congregation. The following day, he received a verbal
communication to go ahead with his plans. On July 24,
1925, he was given

Congregation. Formed from the nucleus of three Sisters
on February 18, 1927, the Congregation has now two
hundred sixty four professed members. Education is

schools in Western Visayas and Davao del Norte in the
Philippines, in the Marianas Islands, Hawai and
California in the U.S.A., and in Kenya, East Africa. An
orphanage for girls is in Molo, Iloilo City and two
boarding houses, one each in Carola and Arsenio H.
Lacson Streets respectively are both situated in
Sampaloc, Manila, Philippines.
The
Congregation invites young women 18-30 years of age join
the band in proclaiming truth and saving souls by a life
of prayer, community living, and joyful service in the
apostola
