The history of the Dominicans’ ministry in Lakeview spans over a century. From humble beginnings as a mission of St. Anthony of Padua to being elevated to a parish in 1924 to today, the Dominicans have ministered with great fidelity to Catholics and to the wider Lakeview community.
Following several years of discernment at the instruction of the Order’s international leadership, the Southern Dominican Province of St. Martin de Porres has announced their decision to leave St. Dominic Parish to focus their ministry at St. Anthony of Padua and Tulane University effective summer of 2022. In the upcoming year, the Dominicans will work directly with me to ensure a smooth transition for ministry at the parish. Beginning in the summer of 2022, archdiocesan priests will be assigned to St. Dominic Parish and School.
Please join me in thanking God for the decades of ministry by the Dominicans in the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
