"A Dynamite Dominican is a follower of Jesus. The
Golden Rule states: "Treat others as you would like to be treated".
At Saint James this is what we do. We are there for each other, through the good times and the bad
times. Dynamite Dominicans, are expected to praise, to bless, and to preach. I
am proud to be a student at Saint James where good
values are always taught and practiced."
~A quote from a special Dynamite Dominican~
