Sponsored by the Vocation Ministers of the Northeast Dominican 6 Congregations
WE ARE DOMINICAN SISTERS -
Simply put we are united with over twenty seven thousand of our brothers and sisters in Dominic throughout the world.
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.
Each of our congregations of the Dominican Sisters of the Northeast Region of the United States 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.
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 six 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.
We encourage you to visit the links to our Northeast Dominican 6 Congregations: the Dominican Sisters of Amityville, Blauvelt, Caldwell, Hope, Sparkill, and St. Catherine de' Ricci.
The Order of Preachers sharing the Gospel for over 800 years.
