Altar Rosary Society/Lazarus Group
The
Altar Rosary Society is responsible for the complete care of the church
altars, and educates others to know the rosary. The society prays the
rosary immediately following the 8 a.m. Mass on Sundays. Altar Rosary
also helps meet the needs of the parish spiritually and holds
fundraisers to help financially. The Lazarus group provides the repast
(meal) for the family following funerals held at St. Dominic. Both
groups meet on the second Sunday of each month. No meetings in June,
July or August.
Bakhita Dance Ministry
Bakhita
is the liturgical dance ministry of St. Dominic Church. Our purpose is
to glorify God through our expressions in dance, and to give thanks to
God for all He is. The group is named for St. Josephine Bakhita of
Sudan, who was canonized in 2000. Bakhita participates in various
city-wide ecumenical worship arts programs throughout the year.
Practices are held weekly.
Choir
We have an adult choir that praises and glorifies God by
sharing their gift of song at every mass and throughout the city. The Choir
sings at Sunday Mass and hosts an annual Spring Concert. Adult rehearsals are
held every Saturday.
Family Kitchen
The
Family Kitchen at St. Dominic answers Christ’s call to feed the hungry
by providing free meals for the community surrounding the parish. The
food is provided and prepared by the non-profit Community Kitchen, Inc.,
and served by volunteers from St. Dominic and from the community.
Health screenings, referrals to community services and educational
assistance are also provided.
God Provides Ministry
St.
Dominic founded God Provides in partnership with the Church of the
Resurrection in New Albany. This ministry coordinates with donors
throughout the city to collect gently used clothing and household items
and distribute them to those in need, working with Neighborhood House
and other community organizations.
Health Ministry
The
mission of the Health Ministry is to provide health information and
programs to the St. Dominic parish and its neighboring community so that
we may become whole in mind, body, and spirit. Activities include an
annual health fair, summer walking group, line dancing classes and
weight management class. You do not need to be in the health or medical
industry to participate.
Men’s Prayer Breakfast
The
men of St. Dominic host a prayer breakfast every second Saturday of the
month. All men age 18 and over, whether parishioners or
non-parishioners, are invited to take part in the breakfast and an
opportunity to grow in faith through fellowship, biblical study and
prayer.
Through prayer, service, and gratitude the Stewardship Committee assists the pastor in developing Stewardship as a way of life in the parish, an attitude of the mind and heart that is expressed in action; emphasizing that all people, things, and experiences are gifts from God. Chairperson: Andrea Pannell, 614-584-1820.
Visitors for Christ
St.
Dominic Visitors for Christ are Eucharistic Ministers who, in a most
reverent and timely manner, provide Communion to the sick and shut-in of
our church. We invite all registered parishioners who are practicing
and confirmed to participate. A three-hour initial training is
required.
The women of St. Dominic invite all women--parishioners and non-parishioners, Catholics and non-Catholics--to grow in their relationship with God through the study of biblical scripture and prayer from a woman’s perspective. The Women’s Bible Study group hosts an annual retreat that enhances the spiritual education and fellowship that fills the rest of the year. Women’s Bible Study meets on Wednesday evenings. The Annual Women’s Retreat is held in late summer or early fall.
