“The Laity of St. Dominic are those faithful who, baptised in the Catholic Church
or received into her, confirmed and in full communion of faith, sacraments
and ecclesiastical governance, are called by a special vocation
to progress in the Christian way of life
and to animate temporal things through the charism of St. Dominic.”
