Mission Statement of the Dominican Province of St. Martin de Porres
In the footsteps of Saint Dominic and inspired by the charism of Saint Martin de Porres, we friars preachers embrace the mission of Jesus Christ to proclaim the Kingdom of God to a changing world. Animated by our common life and study, we commit ourselves to proclaim God's Word in pulpits and in print, in classrooms and in the media and arts, in the Southern United States and beyond.
St. Albert the Great Priory & Novitiate is a community of Catholic priests and brothers. While not a parish, the Priory chapel is open to all Catholics in the area for the daily celebration of Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours. In this community, young men live out their first year as a Dominican friar as they discern their vocation as a Dominican priest or brother. Your donations help us form young men into your future priests and brothers. Thank you for your partnership and prayers for this vital mission.

About Us
ABOUT US
St. Albert the Great Priory & Novitiate is a community of Catholic priests and brothers of the Dominican Province of St. Martin de Porres. The Dominicans arrived in Irving, Texas, in the late 1950s to serve as chaplains and professors of theology and philosophy at the University of Dallas. In the early 1960s, the friars also served on staff at Bishop Lynch Catholic High School. The first Priory was built on the campus of the University of Dallas in 1964. Later the community was relocated to its present site on the edge of the campus adjacent to Holy Trinity Seminary.
The Dominican friars serve in the Diocese of Dallas, throughout the Southern United States, and around the world. They serve the University of Dallas as campus ministers and as professors in the Neuhoff School of Ministry. Over the years they have served as teachers, spiritual directors, retreat masters, and in administration for Holy Trinity Seminary as well as in parochial and Hispanic ministry, hospital and prison chaplaincies, as well as in diaconal and lay ministry formation. Their ministries include preaching missions and retreat work throughout the country and in both Africa and Latin America. While not a parish, the Priory chapel is open to all Catholics in the area for the daily celebration of Mass and the Liturgy of the Hours.
St. Albert the Great Priory & Novitiate is a unique community in the Province of St. Martin de Porres due to its designation as a House of Formation. In this community, young men live out their first year as a Dominican friar as they discern their vocation as a Dominican priest or brother.
