We are Catholic Dominican Sisters

Rooted in the Northeast USA.

With over a thousand gifted women, the Northeast Dominican 6 Congregations 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 six congregations reveals a different flavor of being Dominican. Click and see...
