caleruega_dominic — This statue of St. Dominic stands in the square of Caleruega, Spain, the place of Dominic’s birth.

We celebrate the Feast of Saint Dominic on August 8th.

Saint Dominic founded the Dominican Order 800 years ago:
the nuns in 1206, the friars in 1216. This allows us to celebrate our special anniversary for ten years.

You can find a brief biography of St. Dominic on our website at
