"Before all else,
dear Sisters,
love God and then your neighbor, because these are the chief commandments given to us...
The main purpose for your having come together is to live harmoniously in your house, intent upon God in oneness of mind and heart...
Let all of you, then live together...
mutually honoring God in yourselves, whose temples you have become."
We try to be good community people--not hermits--imitating our holy father Dominic, of whom it was said, "No one was ever more community minded, no one more joyous."
We are a community of women of all ages, races, and nationalities. We all see the world differently, but we are united in our love for God and our desire to preach His word through our Dominican cloistered contemplative life.
There's a saying: "If you've met one Dominican, you've met one Dominican!" And it's true. Come and see!
