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
Friars of our Province are active in Justice and Peace and offer direct services to the poor in many ways.
