Dominican Sisters (O.P.)—Dominican Sisters live
in many locations throughout the U.S. We share a
common heritage, and are influenced by differences in
our geography and history. As Dominicans, we claim
preaching as our mission, supported by a life of prayer
and study in community. In apostolic congregations
members often live in the locale where our particular
ministries are located. Our preaching may take many
forms, such as parish or diocesan ministry, education
or health care, advocacy for justice, legal aid, the arts,
spirituality or missionary activity. In all our ministries
Dominican women strive for integrity in serving
God and creation in the 21st century. Women in
their 20’s and 30’s are invited to contact a Dominican
congregation for specific information about the
process for joining this mission as a vowed member.
