The Dominican Order dates back to 1206 when St. Dominic founded a convent of Nuns in Prouilhe, France. Being part of the Order of Preachers connects us to the larger truth of God’s presence experienced in many cultures and places.


The Order of Preachers sharing the Gospel for over 800 years.
WE ARE DOMINICAN SISTERS -

Simply put we are united with over twenty seven thousand of our brothers and sisters in Dominic throughout the world. 
We invite you to get to know charism, what we believe is our legacy and our role in mission for the sake of the Gospel today. Charism is what is important to us or the guiding principles of our lives.
Each of our congregations reveals a different flavor of
being Dominican. On the links below for each congregation,
you will find some of the important statements of vision and purpose, a snippet of history, its legacy to the Church, and a summary of some current ministries.

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
