St.

Dominic

He was born in
1170.
He discovered his
vocation when a
heretic went back in
the Catholic Church
after listening to his
words.
Three times he
refused to become a
bishop, being
convinced that God
called him rather to
the work of teaching.
This divine
inspiration led him to
develop an order of
wandering
missionaries known as
Ordo Praeditorium.
Ordo
Praeditorium
received papal
approval in
1216.

humility, and preaching.
