I think I have a calling to be a Dominican but I don’t know much about it. I keep seeing St. Dominic and St. Thomas Aquinas pop up in different medias and I even found on these forums a thread talking about nuns (though not specified what kind) were on Oprah. When I watched it it turned out to be Dominican.

Long story short, Does this mean i have a calling to the Dominican order and if I do how do I start looking into it?
 
I would recommend contacting the Province of St. Joseph and requesting more information from them about the Dominican order and being a Dominican. Their website is op-stjoseph.org/ .

Also, a book I really enjoyed which discusses the origins and early years of both the Dominicans and Franciscans (and to a lesser extent the other mendicant orders) is the book The Friars: The Impact of the Early Mendicant Movement on Western Society by CH Lawrence.
 
Frist, get a spiritual director to help you with your vocational discernment.

This should be the very first reply/question to anyone who says that they are discerning a vocation.

Do you have a spiritual director? If not, get one.
