Today, August 8, Catholics around the world celebrate the feast day of St. Dominic de Guzman, the founder of the Order of Preachers (Dominicans). Born in 1170 in Caleruega, Spain, St. Dominic dedicated his life to studying Godโs Word, preaching the truth, and serving others with humility, compassion, and charity. Through his mission, he established the Dominican Order in 1217, emphasizing the importance of study, faith, and preaching.
As Letranites, we celebrate St. Dominicโs feast day by honoring our Dominican heritage and reflecting on the values he lived out. His commitment to truth, excellence in learning, and service to others continues to inspire the Letran community to pursue knowledge with purpose and use it in the service of God and humanity.
May we continue to embody the Dominican spirit of Prayer, Study, Community, and Service, following St. Dominicโs example of becoming bearers of truth and light in todayโs world.
