The Roman Catholic Religious Order known as the Order of Preachers or Dominicans was founded in France in 1216 by St. Dominic de Guzman.

The Order came to Nigeria in 1951. The Province of St. Joseph the Worker (Nigeria & Ghana) comprises over 144 friars and is the only Province of the Order on the African continent.

Blessed with an abundance of vocations, we strive to live out our Dominican and Thomistic traditions as we face the challenges of modern-day West Africa.

Our Order was founded for preaching and salvation of souls. To that end, we are involved in many apostolate; one of which is the Itinerant Preaching Apostolate.
