About Us
The Dominican friars of the Priory of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, D.C. are members of the Province of St. Joseph. Dominican life at the priory is comprised of the evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience, study, and the daily celebration of the Eucharist and the Liturgy of the Hours. The community is responsible for the intellectual, pastoral, and spiritual formation of the Dominican student brothers preparing to serve the Church in Holy Orders.

On Tuesday, August 24, 2010 The Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception began its new academic year with a Mass invoking the blessings of the Holy Spirit on all of the students, faculty, and staff. During the homily, Fr. Steven Boguslawski, O. P. reflected on the proper orientation of the study of sacred truth.
Br. Jerome Zeiler, O.P., speaks on the subject of justification by faith alone. This talk was given as part of the Summer Lecture Series at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Zanesville, OH.
As a part of the Summer Lecture Series at St. Thomas Aquinas Church in Zanesville, OH, student brother Innocent Smith, O. P. gave this talk on the Sacraments and their role in our lives.
St. Dominic's Parish in Youngstown, OH featured a lecture series on saints and sinners this past summer. Student brothers paired up one saint with a contrasting sinner. In this talk, Br. Ezra Sullivan, O. P., contrasts St. Joseph with Herod the Great.
On June 25, 2010 by Fr. James Dominic Brent, O. P., an assistant professor of Philosophy at the Catholic University of America, gave a lecture at the Church of St. Vincent Ferrer in New York City on the topic of the relationship between faith and reason. Fr. Brent follows the line of thought of "Fides et Ratio"(Faith and Reason), in which Pope John Paul II observed that, "Faith and reason are like two wings on which the human spirit rises to the contemplation of truth; and God has placed in the human heart a desire to know the truth-in a word, to know himself-so that, by knowing and loving God, men and women may also come to the fullness of truth about themselves."
On Friday, May 21, 2010, the Pontifical Faculty of the Immaculate Conception at the Dominican House of Studies in Washington, DC had its annual commencement during Solemn Vespers. After the Commencement Exercises were completed, Fr. Dominic Izzo, O. P., prior provincial, and Fr. Giles Dimock, O. P., prior of the Dominican House of Studies, blessed the renovated St. Thomas Aquinas Chapel and a new preaching studio. The preaching studio was dedicated to our longtime itinerant preacher, Fr. Val LaFrance, O. P., who was on hand for the festivities.
Once again, the Priory of the Immaculate Conception held a beautiful and spiritually rewarding celebration of Holy Week and the Paschal Triduum.
Once again, the Dominican Friars gathered in Washington, D. C. on January 21-23, 2010 to witness to the value of human life. In addition to participating in the March for Life, the Dominicans also participated in the National Prayer Vigil for Life, both by attending the Solemn Mass For Life and by leading Lauds and preaching at the conclusion of the all-night vigil.
