What attracts women to the order?
There could be as many answers to this question as there are people in the world today, but in general and from our experience it is the sense of joy and peace that women see and experience in the Dominican Sisters that they have come to know in their life. Women see that the sisters are happy, “normal,” and experience a sense of fulfillment in their lives. Women are attracted to our mission of preaching the Gospel by responding to the particular needs of God’s people in our time today. They have a desire and a belief that by belonging to “something bigger than themselves” and working together, that God’s reign of truth, justice, love and peace can be fulfilled. See what being a member of the Dominican Order means to some of our Sisters, on our Being Dominican webpage.
