On August 8, 2007, the Solemnity of our Holy Father St. Dominic, St. Vincent Ferrer Church unveiled its new website. St. Vincent’s has been operated by the Dominican Friars since it was established as a parish in 1867. It is located on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on Lexington Avenue between 65th & 66th Streets. The current church was designed by Mr. Bertram Goodhue, one of the premier ecclesiastical architects of the early 20th century. The church building was completed in 1918, and the furnishings and accoutrements were added in the years following. The website contains a great deal of information about the the life of St. Vincent Ferrer, the history of the church, and a glimpse into its spectacular architecture.

(Talk: 48 mins Q & A: 9 mins) FR. PETER JOHN CAMERON, O.P., (Editor-in-Chief of MAGNIFICAT) explains the importance of Dominican preaching for the New Evangelization whereby the preacher speaks directly to people’s hearts in order to lead them to an encounter with Christ. Fr. Cameron gave this talk to 27 men during the February 2007 Vocation Weekend.
The Order of Preachers the Dominicans was founded in the 13th century by St. Dominic in order to save souls through preaching and to rectify the corrosive effects of heresy on culture through dedication to the Truth. The Dominican charism esteems art as a formidable witness to the Incarnation and as an invaluable instrument of evangelization.
