“By promising obedience to St. Dominic, we intend to be faithful to his spirit and mission”
I renew in the hands of my Blessed Father Dominic my vows of chastity, poverty and obedience until death.

“We also promise to honor Mary, the Virgin Mother of God, the loving Mother of our Order”
Founded from the Perpetual Rosary Branch of the US Dominican Monasteries, we have always cherished a deep devotion to our Blessed Mother and to her rosary. Recently Father Carlos Azpiroz Costa, OP, Master of the Order, invited all Dominicans to rediscover the Rosary “as a means of contemplation and an instrument of prophetic preaching”, calling the Rosary “a uniquely Dominican contribution to the life of the Church.”

In the Dominican Family
As cloistered nuns, we do not go out and preach. But we believe our prayers and sacrifices spiritually "go out" to the world, bringing the grace of preaching to the other members of the Dominican Order. During this Year of the Priest, we have added a short prayer for priests after our midday prayer.
