Sisters and Associates in Mission
Sisters and Associates in Mission
We are a Roman Catholic Congregation of women founded in 1822 according to the Dominican tradition. Our original purpose was the education of children. To praise, to bless, to preach the Word of God is the Dominican motto which we embrace. Like Dominic and Dominicans the world over, we are called to continually listen to the signs of the times in order to respond to the needs of the times and to preach the truth. We embrace the vows of poverty, chastity and obedience as a means to avail ourselves more fully to God and in service to others.
In our search for truth, our mission is to hear and proclaim God's word, promote the dignity of persons and participate in the mission of the church through our call to teach, to heal, to serve, and to transform oppressive structures.
As we live into the 21st century, the Dominicans of St. Catharine, Kentucky, Sisters and Associates in Mission, will become a more inclusive multi-cultural community radically committed
to preaching the Gospel.
Led by the Spirit, we will emphasize
- study -
- contemplation of the interconnectedness of all God's creation -
- living simple, sustainable community -
- working against the violence that alienates and marginalizes .
We will collaborate with others, sharing our gifts and resources.
