Lay people have been associated with the Order founded by St Dominic since its beginnings in the 13th century. They have had a variety of names in their history, and at present they are usually called Lay Dominicans or the Dominican Laity.

Glasgow Lay Dominicans is one of these groups. The members share in the spirituality and mission of the Order as the circumstances of their lives allow. This involves study, prayer and action in accordance with the Gospel and according to the charism of St Dominic.

The group shares various aspects of life with other branches of the Dominican family in Glasgow, and has much in common with many sorts of Dominicans in secular and religious life in the UK and worldwide. There is a Dominican priory, Blackfriars, in Queens Drive in the south side of Glasgow, and many gather there or with the Dominican chaplain at the Chaplaincy of the University of Strathclyde in John Street in the centre of Glasgow for study, prayer and good company.
