Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love.

1 John 4:8

Cloister is observed in Dominican convents so that the brothers may be better able to devote themselves to contemplation and study.

Cloister

The proper effect of the Eucharist is the transformation of man into God.

Thomas Aquinas

Rarely affirm, seldom deny, always distinguish.

Thomas Aquinas

Thy word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path.

Psalm 119:105
Welcome to St. Thomas Aquinas Priory

Dominican House of Studies, Ibadan

Saint Dominic intimately linked study to the ministry of salvation. He sent his brothers to the Universities to study so as to equip them for the ministry of the word. That tradition continues even till today. The Ibadan priory is the centre of basic studies for the Dominicans of the Province of Nigeria and Ghana.

Prayer Life

The white Dominican habit is indicative of purity while the black cappa implies penance and prayer.

Our Habit

Dominicans profess the vows of obedience, poverty and chastity. These vows are otherwise referred to as the Evangelical Counsels. The aim of the vows is to help the individual cling more tenaciously to God with an undivided heart.
