	Dominican Order
		The Dominican Order, (its formal name, the Order of Preachers, is less common in English) founded by Saint Dominic in the early 13th century, is one of the great mendicant orders[?] of friars that revolutionized religious life in Europe during the high middle ages.
		Dominic sought to establish a new kind of order, one that would bring the dedication and systematic education of the older monastic orders like the Benedictines to bear on the religious problems of the burgeoning population of cities, but with more organizational flexibility than either monastic orders or the secular clergy.
		His new order was to be a preaching order, trained to preach in the vernacular languages but with a sound background in academic theology.

		An order of Dominican nuns was founded by Dominic in 1205, before the male branch of the order was established.

	Saint Dominic and the Order of Friars Preachers
		The Dominican Order, i.e., the Order of Friars Preachers, was founded by St. Dominic de Guzman (c.1170-1221), a cannon of the Cathedral of Osma in Spain, when he and his Bishop, Diego, were on a diplomatic mission for the King of Castile and passed through the south of France in 1206.
		Likewise, he sought to impress upon the Friars of his Order that their preaching should begin in the quiet solitude of prayer and study.
		Thus, a motto of the Order of Preachers is "Give to others the fruits of your contemplation." This spirit of contemplation and preaching, humility, poverty and service embodied by Holy Father Dominic formed the character and found expression in one of his greatest sons, Saint Thomas Aquinas.
