Catholic & Dominican Home

We see in our identity and in our daily work a continuation of the task that St. Dominic began more than eight centuries ago, to seek the face of God and to come to understand better the world that He has made and providentially guides.

Fr. Kenneth Sicard, OP, College President

Since 1917, Providence College has been shaped by the Catholic and Dominican vision that faith and reason are complementary in the pursuit of truth. Founded by the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph, the College draws on more than 800 years of Dominican tradition—rooted in prayer, study, community, and preaching. This tradition forms people who not only seek knowledge but are shaped by contemplation and sent forth to proclaim Veritas, truth.

We invite you to explore how this mission comes to life across campus.
