About St. Andrew's Chapter

In 1977 a small group of lay persons from St. Andrew’s Newman Community (University of California, Riverside / Riverside Community College) began to meet under the tutelage of Fr. Albert Felice-Pace, O.P. in order to form a chapter of the Dominican Laity in Riverside, California. Over the years membership has grown with people joining from throughout the San Bernardino diocese and also the dioceses of Orange, San Diego, and Los Angeles.

We are geographically diverse with members travelling up to 60 miles one-way to attend meetings. We meet at the Newman Center on the third Sunday of the month beginning with attendance at the 11:00 Mass. Our meetings include a shared meal, praying of the Liturgy of the Hours and Rosary, and reflection on a shared topic of study. Yearly we have a weekend retreat.

As brothers and sisters we share a common spirit, nurturing and encouraging one another in the work of the Order.   Interested in finding out more? Please visit us on the third Sunday of the month at St. Andrew’s Newman Center, 105 W. Big Springs Road, Riverside, CA 92507.
