After several years of reflection on its ministry in an 11-state region of the southern U.S., the Southern Dominican Province of St. Martin de Porres announced Jan. 25 that Dominican friars will withdraw from St. Dominic Parish in New Orleans, beginning July 1, 2022, ending the religious order’s 98-year presence in Lakeview.
Southern Dominican Provincial Father Thomas Condon acknowledged the “very painful” decision was prompted by a review of overall ministry by the Dominicans’ former “master of the order,” Father Bruno Cadoré, who visited the province in 2016 and advised “that we needed to look at consolidating some of our ministries and communities.”
