We are Catholic Dominican Sisters
Rooted in the
Northeast USA.
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. Each of our congregations have vowed members and associates. We also sponsor Dominican volunteers. Beyond that the larger Dominican Family throughout the world also includes nuns, friars, the Dominican laity, Dominican Young Adults and Dominican Youth Preachers.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. Seeking justice is an important part of our search for truth. Each of our Congregations reveals a different flavor of being Dominican. Click and see...
