As the United States commemorates its 250th anniversary, the Dominican Sisters Conference is proud to partner with Dominican Congregations across the country in presenting 250 Sisters Who Shaped the USA.
This initiative celebrates the lives, ministries, and enduring contributions of Dominican Sisters whose faith, courage, and commitment have helped shape our nation and continue to inspire future generations.
Explore 250 women who served in education, medicine, spirituality, social justice, and many other fields of influence. The women we feature have served and contributed to our country’s story through the decades. Each of the 250 Sisters represents thousands of additional vowed women religious who said YES to the Church and YES to giving their lives in service to the world.
The Dominican Sisters Conference unites the Sisters and Associates of U.S. Dominican Congregations in their mission to preach the Gospel of Jesus — standing as a clear voice for truth, justice, and peace.
We are Dominican Sisters—faithful women rooted in the bold and beautiful tradition of the Order of Preachers. As part of a global family of friars, nuns, sisters, and lay partners, we carry the Dominican charism into today’s world with passion and purpose.
Join us in honoring these Dominican Sisters of Grand Rapids who have helped shape the United States.
