   Sponsored by the Vocation Ministers of the Northeast Dominican 6 Congregations
We are Catholic Dominican Sisters
Rooted in the Northeast USA.

With over a thousand gifted women,  Dominican Congregations of the Northeast include the Dominican Sisters of Amityville, Blauvelt, Caldwell, Hope, Sparkill, and St. Catherine de' Ricci. You can find us all over the country and worldwide in our missions.

We are known by the works we do for the people of God everywhere. We minister at a retreat centers, schools, colleges,, parish centers, in hospitals, courts, or law offices. We work with the poor, abused, handicapped and the immigrants. We teach English as a second language and job skills and also advocate in some legal settings.











All of our congregations have given a gift to the church through prayer, study, common life, and mission. We have sacrificed to build schools, hospitals, colleges, retreat centers and convents. New ministries are continually evolving in response to the signs of the times.

We live our lives searching for God and responding to the Presence of Christ  in all of creation. Where one of us is, we all are. We are a family of preachers whose preaching is our very lives. Hence, the OP after our names signifies Order of Preachers. We have a real legacy to share.

We invite you to get to know our family traits or charism, what we believe is our legacy and our role in mission for the sake of the Gospel today. Each of our Congregations reveals a different flavor of being Dominican. Click and see...

Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine de' Ricci Sister June Fitzgerald, OP God Loves You! That is the message that God has given me to preach. God Loves You so much that God can’t stop thinking about you, blessing you, and being in relationship with you. I preach this message with my life & ministryDominican Sister of Blauvelt Sister Jo-Anne Fallace, OP My vocation is very much about relationship and community. In 1971, through the Charismatic Renewal, my relationship with God became very real. It has been the renewal in my life that has carried me through “thick and thin”.Dominican Sisters of Sparkill Sister Catherine Rose Quigley OP My primary ministry has been in high school education. Each experience has been a response to a call to be a changing force and influence in the lives of high school students at a crucial time of growth.

Dominican Sisters of Amityville Sister Irene Garvey, OP I look back on my life as a series of calls within “the call.” Each one has stretched me and blessed me and I pray that God has used me to stretch and bless others. Dominican Sisters of Caldwell Sister Lois Curry, OP Praising, blessing, preaching; studying reflecting and dialoging; learning to let go in hope have been part of the continuing thread of my life. What energizes me most now is the new fire and desire in the hearts of my sisters and parish people..Dominican Sisters of Hope Margaret Anderson OP My call to be a Religious Sister was fostered in my family, not by words alone but mostly by actions. My brother is also a priest. When my parents saw the needs of those around them, they responded to help in any way they could.
