to praise. to bless. to preach.

The Dominican Sisters ~ Grand Rapids are seekers of truth and empower others in the same pursuit. We uphold these four cornerstones as the hallmarks of Dominican Life:

• Prayer is at the heart of our lives and our commitment.
• Study is the pursuit of truth through formal and informal learning.
• Common Life is the source of our strength, courage, opportunity, growth and meaning.
• Ministry is the way in which we serve God, the Church, the poor and oppressed; we preach in a variety of ways. We respect cultural differences and the dignity of each person.

These elements provide balance, belonging and daily challenge to our lives. We firmly believe that together we can affect more good than by individual efforts.
