Study

Contemplation typically happens during prayer, but for Dominicans, study is also a type of prayer where we seek Truth, Veritas, who is Jesus Christ Himself.

Fraternal Life

We pray together, eat together, and recreate together. Together we grow in our love for God. This fraternal life strengthens our witness to the world.

Apostolate

Our apostolate is “for preaching and the salvation of souls”. We remain faithful to these ends through education, evangelization, and aid to the suffering.

For the Salvation of Souls

Our Congregation belongs to the large religious family founded by Saint Dominic.

The Order of Preachers “has been established, from the beginning, for the purpose of preaching and the salvation of souls” (Primitive Constitution of the Order of Preachers, Prologue).

Thus, the Sisters dedicate themselves to the fulfillment of the apostolic tasks of the Church in imitation of Christ who announced the Kingdom of God to the people.
