sponsored ministries
Many blessings have been given to the people of the Grand Rapids and surrounding area through the extensive volunteerism of the Dominican Sisters ~ Grand Rapids. Our Sisters have been actively offering aid and comfort to others since arriving in Grand Rapids in the 1877.
Our Sisters are involved in many types of charitable activities, which include: haircutting at the homeless shelter, caring for premature babies, helping refugees with language skills and transportation, and reading to the blind.
Moreover, there are several ministries funded by the Sisters, namely: Dominican Center at Marywood (DCM), Partners in Parenting, the WORD Project (which encompasses HASD – Homework Assistance and Skill Development - and ESL – English as a Second Language) and the Prayer and Listening Line.
