Who We Are
St. Gertrude differs from other parishes.
Why? Well, St. Gertrude is a parish given to Dominicans, and Dominicans given to the parish. As a result, the Dominican charism shapes aspects of parish life. The Dominicans live in the truth of the Word of God; they are converted and sanctified by it; and they preach it. The life of a Dominican consists of four pillars: prayer, study, the communal life, and the apostolate. These consequently inform our parish life. |
