St. Dominic is the founder of the Order of Preachers, or the Dominicans. He is the patron saint of astronomers, choir members, and the Dominican order. St. Dominic's feast day is celebrated within the Catholic Church on August 8. This penny-sized sterling silver St. Dominic medal is rich in detail with diamond-cut accents that add sparkle to the medal. The St. Dominic medal comes on an 18 inch rhodium-plated chain, which is durable and tarnish resisting. The backside of the St. Dominic medal is blank, so is perfect for personalized engraving, which we offer at St. Patrick's Guild for $9.95. Click here for more details. The St. Dominic medal is an ideal religious gift for Communion, Confirmation, and Name Day. Like all of our patron saint medals that you can buy at St. Patrick's Guild, the St. Dominic medal is packaged in an attractive green velvet hinged box, ready for gift-giving!
