Associate Covenant

Associates are women and men who enter into a covenant relationship with the Caldwell Dominican Community. This covenant provides a way in which lay men and women, 18 and over, can proclaim the Gospel values of peace, justice, and compassion, enhance their own spiritual lives and share in the Caldwell Dominican charism.

 

An Associate is an extension of the Dominican Family. 
Each plays a part in implementing the Vatican II mandate:

“All are called to holiness
and to nurture the implication
that all are called to contemplation.”

Mission Statement
of the
Caldwell Dominican Associates

We, as Associates of the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Caldwell, New Jersey, embrace the Dominican charism to praise, to bless, and to preach. We journey with the vowed members of this Community in carrying forward its mission: to develop a passion for contemplation, to promote social justice and to recognize the sacredness of all creation. In the spirit of this Dominican mission we identify ourselves as Associate Dominicans in our homes, our workplaces, our parishes, and our communities, and use our gifts and talents to support the vision of the Community. It is in this close association with the Caldwell Dominican Community that we endeavor to manifest our own love of God and of our world.
