Dominican Dads

Formed on the Dominican Campus more than a decade ago, Dominican Dads seeks to challenge and encourage dads of current and former students on the Campus in their vocation as fathers through prayer, fellowship, and service and to facilitate opportunities for Dads to be present on the Campus in a meaningful way.  

JOIN US
Dominican Dads is open to any father or father figure of a current or former student at Overbrook Catholic School or St. Cecilia Academy. 

WEEKLY GATHERINGS
Dominican Dads gathers for prayer, intellectual formation (speaker/discussion), and fellowship every Friday morning when school is in session. We begin with a brief period of prayer and adoration at 6:15 a.m., followed by a video or live speaker with discussion in the OCS portion of the Dining Hall.  Meetings end promptly at 7:30 a.m. 

CAMPUS-WIDE FELLOWSHIP
We believe that it is important for Dads to be present on the Dominican Campus as a means of fostering fellowship and service.  Dominican Dads volunteers at the SCA Powderpuff Game in October and the OCS and SCA Community Fish Fry in March.
