PARISH MINISTRY The largest single ministerial commitment of our Province is to parishes. Apart from staffing the following parishes, our brethren also support diocesan parishes with their sacramental needs and commitments: Our Lady of Graces and St Martin de Porres' Parish, Carina Qld [link] Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, Doubleview WA [link] Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, Prospect SA Our Lady of the Rosary Parish, Watson ACT St Bede's Parish, Pyrmont NSW [link] St Benedict's Parish, Broadway NSW [link] St Dominic's Parish, East Camberwell Vic [link] St James' Parish, Forest Lodge NSW [link] St Laurence's Parish, North Adelaide PREACHING TEAMS Dominicans are involved in a variety of ministries, but all Dominicans are engaged one way or another in the Order's ministry of preaching. There are a growing number of members of the Province whose entire ministry is one of preaching. Some of the brethren are involved in promoting the Catherine of Siena Institute. A preaching team in New Zealand and individual Dominican preachers travel throughout the countries of the Province to preach retreats and parish renewals. SOCIAL JUSTICE Members of our Province are active in Justice and Peace and offer direct services to the poor in many ways. TEACHING Our brethren offer the fruits of their contemplation in a number of institutes, both Dominican and diocesan run, throughout the territory of the Province and overseas.
