Religion / Spirituality

Since 1850, Saint Albert Priory has served as a mainstay of the Western Dominican Province. Originally located in Monterrey, California's former Spanish/Mexican capital, Saint Albert Priory later moved to Benicia, another former capital of the state. Today, Saint Albert Priory operates out of Oakland, California. The mission of Saint Albert Priory focuses on the preparation of priests and brothers for the Dominican Order of the Roman Catholic Church. This preparation requires men to go through eight years of prayer and education coordinated by Saint Albert Priory. For years, Saint Albert Priory operated an internal educational wing known as the College of Saint Albert the Great.
