"Women today are seeking something to believe in,
and we have that to share."

Quote by Sister Laurie Brink, OP (Sinsinawa, Wisconsin)

Who can become a Sister of Saint Dominic?

Single Catholic women, usually between the ages of 21 and 39, who desire to participate in the Dominican way of life: prayer, study, community, and ministry centered in the Gospel.

• Women who have a personal prayer life and a desire to deepen their life of prayer in community and in ministry.
   
• Women who appreciate diversity and welcome the experience of living and working together with a wide variety of people.
   
• Women who desire to use their gifts in the service of others and also to recognize and affirm the talents of others.

If I am thinking about becoming a Dominican sister, what can I do that will help me to make a decision?

• Pray and ask God to guide you.
   
• Talk to a spiritual director, a sister or a priest.
   
• Come for a visit. Call and make arrangements to meet us and see our motherhouse in Caldwell.
   
• Come for a weekend or afternoon of prayer and discernment with other young women who are thinking about Dominican religious life.
   
• Join the sisters in prayer at a local convent.
