The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist.

Visit this vibrant community's website here.

Our Community was formed in response to the call of Pope John Paul II in the Post-Synodal Exhortation, Vita Consecrata, regarding his belief that today it is opportune to establish new foundations which "bear witness to the constant attraction which the total gift of self to the Lord ... continues to exert even on the present generation." (VC, 12)

We are celebrating our 8th year together as a community. The Lord blessed us abundantly in this endeavor. Click here to read a letter from our Bishop. You can learn about our Community by exploring our spiritual formation, daily spiritual life, and our apostolic works.

Pope John Paul II has said, "The consecrated life is at the very heart of the Church as a decisive element of her mission." (VC, 3)


Eucharistic Adoration is at the heart of our contemplative life.

Through the profession of the evangelical counsels, our community seeks to embody the graces of the New Evangelization which Pope John Paul II announced as "the prelude to a new springtime in the Church." The spiritual identity of our fraternal life lived in community is shaped by Dominican spirituality with an emphasis on Eucharistic adoration and Marian devotion.

The apostolic dimension of the new institute takes it bearing from the Holy Father's call for a New Evangelization. We initially plan to engage in the work of Catholic education, but remain open to embrace other means of evangelization. Click here to read about our schools.

We also engage in offering spiritual retreats for women. These include special times, focused on the Eucharist and Marian devotion, for students, and for married and single women. This gives them the time away from their daily concerns, to reflect on their special vocations in life and their relationship with God.

A third area of activity is our participation in spreading the Truth through evangelization and teaching. We conduct religious instruction for homeschooled high-school teenagers. Also, we engage college students and others to discuss and consider the Faith.
