The Greek playwright Sophocles wrote "One word frees us of all the weight
and pain of life: That word is love." Ohio Dominican has always been a place where
the truth of this ancient Greek wisdom is all around. As a place with its roots in the
Catholic tradition, love abounds on Sunbury Road. The love of Christ that permeates our
mission and our daily lives leads to love of neighbor and the love of knowledge that is
expressed in our motto: "To contemplate truth and share with others the fruits of
this contemplation."
This special quality of Ohio Dominican probably helps explain why so many who came
here drawn by a love of knowledge ended up finding that other kind of love that has
inspired the poets through the centuries.
For some, they were college sweethearts. For others, they didn't meet until after
graduation, but in the end, they found themselves living happily ever after - as
Double Dominicans...
