As part of the Dominican Order, the Congregation of the Sisters of Saint Dominic accept as its purpose the proclamation of the truth of the Gospel to those in greatest need (Luke 4:18; 3:31). In this purpose, our Congregation reflects Christ who was sent to the poor and those in need.(Constitutions no. 4)
For the glory of God and the salvation of souls!
We evangelize the culture in diverse ways, responding to the unique needs of our environment. We host and facilitate retreats, and we participate in events that offer opportunities to proclaim the Word of God and share our Catholic heritage—through conferences, summer camps, pilgrimages, and more. As women religious, we also strive to witness the joy and gift of consecrated life wherever God sends us, offering a living testimony of His love and presence in the world.
Some of our Sisters teach in schools, guiding young hearts in the life of grace and fostering a deep love for Jesus. Through education, they help students develop values and virtues that shape them into responsible members of society, while above all forming them as faithful disciples of God who understand their filial role in His Kingdom.
Our Sisters also serve in parishes, collaborating closely with priests to meet the catechetical needs of children. They prepare them to receive the Sacraments and nurture their spiritual growth, helping them grow in faith and intimacy with God from an early age.
We bring aid to the sick and suffering both in our private nursing home facility and through personal outreach, visiting those who are homebound. Some of our Sisters also serve as Eucharistic ministers, ensuring that those in hospitals or hospices are not deprived of the Sacraments.
In ministering to the sick, we remind them of their inestimable dignity as children of God, precious and unique in His sight. Through corporal and spiritual works of mercy, we care for both body and spirit, attending to the holistic needs of those entrusted to us.
Finally, we accompany the dying, preparing them for Heaven through prayer, presence, and by making the Sacraments, including the last rites, readily available. In this way, we seek to bring God’s love, mercy, and peace to those at the most vulnerable moments of life.
