Welcome

We Are The Dominican Sisters

Through ministry, community, study, and prayer we share Christ’s message — redemptive love that reflects God’s desire for a just world.

Radically Faithful — 150 Years in Michigan and Beyond

To Praise. To Bless. To Preach.

Dominican Sisters and Associates of Grand Rapids respond to a call to live our commitment made in baptism: to grow in the love of God.

Like all the women and men who came before us during the 800-year history of the Order of Preachers, the Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids believe that by living intentionally in community, sharing blessings through our presence and ministries, extending love and mercy, and praising God through many forms of prayer, we can transform the world.

"We are Faithful in the becoming. We trust the future already living inside us."

Sister Megan McElroy, OP, Prioress
