Welcome to Dominican Contemplative Nuns

The Cloistered Contemplative Dominican Nuns, belonging to the Order of Preachers (O.P), were founded in 1206 by St. Dominic in France ( Prouille). Thus, the Nuns were the first community St. Dominic created for prayer and for supporting his preaching mission before the Friars Preachers were even officially approved in 1216.
