Sisters of Saint Dominic Motherhouse Renovation

A Journey in Time…
115 Years:
A House of Prayer and Study

A personal message to you
 from Sister Arlene Antczak, OP, Prioress

Dear Friends,
Caldwell Dominican Sisters rejoice in an eight-century legacy of Dominican mission.  Since their founding in 1881 by Mother Mary Catharine Muth to serve an immigrant population in Jersey City, New Jersey, they have responded to the needs of each historic era.

As contemplative women, we believe that God answers prayers through interaction with people.  Our lives express confidence that “the authentic Dominican disappears into the people she serves and reappears in the people she empowers.”

Whenever you meet us, in classrooms, boardrooms, parishes and retreat centers, caring for every need from child care to senior housing, you will find women energized by a lifestyle of prayer and study for which the Caldwell Motherhouse stands as a source and symbol.

This center of the congregation’s life, the Motherhouse, faces challenges and changes.  For this reason we are seeking $3,000,000 in renovations to restore the Motherhouse to a safe and viable living environment suitable for Caldwell Dominicans, today and tomorrow.
        Please consider making a pledge to this project.

May God bless your generosity.  You will be in the hearts and prayers of all the Sisters.
