Apart from the major holiday seasons, meetings are held monthly normally on the first Tuesday of the month. Currently (2024) they are held in the Bristol University Catholic Chaplaincy at 103 Queens Rd, Clifton, Bristol BS8 1LL, and preceded by the 7.00pm evening Mass although it may be worth checking if you are attending for the first time.

Currently Bristol Fraternity has about 25 members, all of whom are keen to keep up their connection with the group even if they cannot always attend meetings. Meetings are regularly attended by about 10-15 members, sometimes a few more. Properly speaking, because Dominicans are organised in fraternities and that is an important part of their identity, reasonably regular attendance at meetings is expected of members. Several members have made formal Dominican commitment through the rite of acceptance into the Lay Dominicans, others have made their first temporary profession, and we now have attending our meetings several others who have made their final profession as Dominicans for life.
