An Inside Look - The Dominican House of Studies

Published 2023-06-19
Why do you wear a habit? What’s a Rood Screen? What is a book every Catholic should read? How do you prepare for a homily? Are you a Jedi?

As preachers and teachers, Dominicans get asked a lot of questions.

Join Dominican brothers (and real-life brothers), Fathers Simon and Jonah Teller as they answer these questions—and many others—during an inside look at the Dominican House of Studies.

Tour the St. Thomas Chapel and practicum studios, St. Joseph Chapel, main chapel, monastic cloister, academic center, and library — home to over 65,000 books and an antiphonarium from the 1600s! (What’s an antiphonarium?) Get your questions answered on this upbeat tour with the Teller brothers!

    I wanted to be a priest as a young boy and turned down the chance to study in Rome in the 6th grade. It is my biggest personal regret. Even today my bedroom resembles a chapel. This video brings joy to my soul. Thank you for sharing.

    Having 2 sons ordained as priests, what a blessing.
  • This was very well done Fathers. I was able to go to the Dominican house of studies this past December and it was wonderful.

    Wonderful! Thank you from an old Third Order Dominican; I am always supporting you with my prayers (St. Joseph Province). St. Rose of Lima , ora pro nobis.
  • I love how traditional everything looks. It's so beautiful. When I visited with the Dominicans 10 years ago, none of them ever wore habits and the place looked so lifeless and sterile.
