Our Sisters

Emboldened by faith, serving with joy.

Grand Rapids Dominicans have had the distinct privilege of serving in a wide variety of ministries. Each Sister brings her unique God-given gifts and talents to her ministry. Each Sister has a story uniquely her own. She has woven her threads of fabric into a vibrant tapestry made brilliant by the lives of Sisters who came before, the lives of those present today, and the lives of those who will follow. Check back occasionally as we will be adding Sisters throughout the year.

We honor and celebrate our Sisters who have passed.

We would love to hear how the Dominican Sisters or a special Sister has influenced your life.

2023Jubilarians

The Dominican Sisters~Grand Rapids honor the commitment of our members when a Sister reaches a specific number of years, a jubilee, in her religious life. Jubilees are celebrated at 25, 50, 60, 70, 75, 80, and 85 years a Sister.  We also honor the Jubilee years of Sisters who have entered Heaven. We honor each woman and find ways to celebrate her unique contributions to the world and our Congregation during her Jubilee year.

OurSisters

Every Sister has a story to tell, and the common threads of our stories are enhanced by one another. The unfolding of the mystery of God’s presence in our lives is awesome. We are grateful for these holy women and we continue to be enriched by their lives. Each is emboldened by faith and serving with joy. Each builds upon the legacy of 800 years of Dominican faith and faithfulness.
