Blackfriars Priory (formally the Priory of the Holy Spirit) is a Dominican religious community in Oxford, England. Its primary work is the administration of two educational institutions: Blackfriars Studium , a centre of theological studies in the Roman Catholic tradition; and Blackfriars Hall , a constituent permanent private hall of the University of Oxford .
Blackfriars was suppressed at the Reformation, but the friars returned to Oxford in 1921 and began to train Dominican students for the priesthood in the Studium at their new priory in 1929.
