About UsWhen the Dominican Friars (Officially: Friars of the Order of Preachers) came to Denver before 1889, there was no thought of starting a new parish much less building a new church building. Rather, those early Friars came to Denver for the sunshine and mountain air thought to be a sure cure for various respiratory ailments of the late 19th century. But, when Father J.T. Murphy arrived plans were set in motion and the foundations of what would become St. Dominic Catholic Church were firmly established.
Mission Statement St. Dominic Parish is a Catholic Christian Community set in the Dominican tradition, called to preach and to live the Word of God as a Community of Faith committed to celebrate our diversity, and dedicated to minister to the needs of ourparish and beyond.

From our earliest days till today, we have been a neighborhood Church of immigrants. It was the Irish that built the Church’s foundations and the Italian who came quickly behind. In the early 1970s we took on a Mexican flavor and with the turn of the century we are quickly becoming a reflection of our regentrified neighborhood. Today we are a “people of every race, language, and way of life who come together to share in the one eternal banquet with Jesus Christ the Lord.” (Eucharistic Prayer for Reconciliation II)
