Dear Sisters and Brothers of the Dominican Family;
We are writing to invite you to 3rd PREDICARTE of Latin America and the Caribbean that will take place in the city of Cusco from the 11th to the 18th of September in 2011.
From the beginning of our Order the art has been considered a way to predication since our inner nature has developed the movement of the Spirit as a smooth breeze that it allows us to glimpse something of God Mystery in history.
The 2011 is an emblematic year for our memory in the Continent since we celebrate the 500 years of the communitarian predication of our first Community in
America which could hear the local people clamour and it turned into an effective compassion. That´s why we have chosen as a motto to motivate our encounter:
Life cries out and demands our compassion.
According to our motto we wish to eco the experience of our charisma from the beauty appreciation.
We invite all members of the Dominican Family , sisters, brothers , nuns, friars, lay men, lay women who have developed their creativity and they hand it to the service of predication through any of the artistic disciplines: music, literature, poetry, plastic Art, theatre, dancing audiovisual aids, photography, cinema, handicrafts, body expression, etc.
We are open to all the dimensions of the beauty in its many manifestations.
The meeting will take place in the Saint Domingo del Cusco convent, and the accommodation service of the participants will be at the two hostels of our Dominican sisters which are adjoining to the convent on the Awaqpinta Street. We think it will be
The cost of the event will be u$s 250 which includes accommodations, meals, materials, and a community visit to the Sacred Valley.

The Machu Picchu visit has not been planned , if anyone wants to stay after the meeting we ask you to tell us in advance in order to book a room in the same hostel.
We greet you calling on Saint Domingo and our blessed brother Angelico´ s blessing who showed us a path for the encounter with God through the beauty.
