Welcome
St. Dominic’s is a Catholic parish inspired by the Dominican spirituality igniting the faith for the salvation of souls.
For almost 160 years, St. Dominic’s has maintained a strong spiritual and academic presence in the once-state-capital town Benicia, California.
Our purpose is to carry out the mission of Jesus Christ by coordinating, encouraging and promoting apostolic activities within the Parish and the Universal Church.
We invite you to join our parish family and community, and to join one or more of our many ministries for the whole family. So together, we can serve God and his people.
