Saint Dominic

Dominic grew up in a very good Catholic family, his mother was Blessed Joan of Aza, and they taught him about God and he grew up learning about Jesus.  He was sent to school when he was seven years old and he grew to know Jesus more and more through his studies.  When he grew up, he became a priest and joined an order that followed the rules of St. Benedict.  During the time that he was alive there was a group of people that believed some lies about God and these people wanted to change the beliefs of the Catholic Church.  Dominic spent his whole life preaching and teaching to these people, trying to help them understand the Truth.  It was not easy and he had to work very hard.  Through his hard work he was given some preachers to work with him in his mission and with these men he started the Order of Preachers, also called the Dominicans.  The goal of the Dominicans was, and still is, to preach the Truth of the Gospels and help people come to know the true God.  St. Dominic’s Order spread throughout many countries before he died and the Order still continues today.
