Study the Church’s Theology and Mission of the Family

The Dominus Project is an endeavor of Franciscan Missionaries of Our Lady University. Not only do we offer direct support to families and parishes, but, through the university, we offer classes to anyone desiring to grow in knowledge of the Catholic theology of the family.

“The classes have opened my mind to an awe and wonder I never knew possible. Seeing the transformation not only of myself but my fellow classmates, our respective communities, and the diocese has been beautiful. I cannot wait to see what else is in store!”
