Welcome!

It has come to our attention that many people who are interested in D+E+I's programs and ministry have questions about just what the Dominican Ecclesial Institute is. To that end, we have formulated a brief statement of purpose which we feel articulates our mission:

D+E+I Statement of Purpose
D+E+I provides opportunities for adult Catholic faith formation
 in the Dominican tradition.

And to give the briefest nutshell description of the Dominican spiritual tradition:

The Dominican Tradition
“Meeting people where they are
to help them get to where they want to be.

For those interested in the LONG explanation of what "Dominican Ecclesial Institute" means, click here.

Mission Statement

The Dominican Ecclesial Institute (D+E+I) seeks to promote Catholic intellectual life for the good of the Church, in the tradition of the Dominican Order through:

  • Educational Programs of lectures, classes, and series, on Theology and Ministry.

  • Public Discourse about Religion and Culture with the University, the state, and the Church in New Mexico.

  • Research and Writing on Catholic issues, in association with professional organizations and critical scholarship.

With these efforts D+E+I promotes the Catholic vision of religious values, philosophical wisdom
and the spiritual life.
