our ministry

Companions on the journey, we feed the hungry, house the homeless, visit the imprisoned; educate students, counsel the sick and lonely.

education

Throughout the 1800s and much of the 1900s Sisters staffed parochial schools in the United States. Beginning in the 1970s, however, societal and ecclesial shifts changed the landscape of these ministries. Sisters acquired positions in various schools and hospitals that were not sponsored by parishes or dioceses. Wherever they found work, Sisters continued to teach and serve in schools and parishes throughout Michigan, New Mexico, Hondurus and Peru.

study

Study is an essential component of our Dominican life and mission. It informs our ministry, enriches our common life and is integral to our prayer. We commit ourselves to formal and informal study in order to bring careful consideration to decision concerning our life and mission. ~Constitution #17

The truth we seek is found in all reality. Our study is not confined to any one discipline, but leads us to attend with reverence to the manifestation of God’s presence in the whole of creation. ~Constitution #18
