DOMINICAN LAITY IN TRINIDAD & TOBAGO

 

The history of the Dominican Laity in Trinidad and Tobago goes back to 1871 the zealous Fr. Forestier. He established the first fraternity with a group of very devoted ladies who helped him care for the little orphans he had gathered together in a house in Belmont, Port of Spain, Trinidad.

In 1993 a national Promoter was appointed and within a few years the original three Chapters, which were at first amalgamated, grew to ten.

The present fraternities are as follows:
