​RITE OF RECEPTION

April 12 2025 - Lazarus day
​On 12 April 2025, Lazarus day - the day before Palm Sunday, our fraternity welcomed Mr. Jeramyah Baxtron into the Syracuse Lay Dominican Order through the Rite of Reception. Jeramyah is a dedicated convert to the Catholic faith and has a very unique conversion story. As a street evangelist in Syracuse, a member of the Knights of Columbus, and a worker for the Diocese of Syracuse, you can find him at Transfiguration Church helping others to rekindle their faith. Our brother Jeramyah has a bright future ahead of him in service to the Church, God, and our neighbor - both believers and unbelievers alike! Please pray for his success in the contemplative and apostolic life

who are the
​lay dominicans?

We are men and women living a Christian life with a Dominican spirituality in the secular world.
​
​ We find inspiration following the spiritual path of St. Dominic; a path taken by many saints, blesseds and other holy people throughout the 800+ year history of the Dominican Order. 
​
We meet for prayer and study, and to support each other in our shared mission to bring the Word of God and the message of salvation to the world around us.
