90 Years of Mission & Hope—Your Support Makes a Difference

For more than 90 years, Dominican Sisters have stood as pioneers—trailblazers in education, healthcare, social work, and justice and peace advocacy. As we navigate today’s ever-changing world, we remain steadfast in our commitment to proclaiming the Gospel with courage and hope. This October, we will gather for a milestone event, Encuentro 2025: Preachers of Hope for Times Such as These, a celebration of our shared Dominican mission and a bold step forward in shaping the future of our preaching ministry.  

Encuentro 2025 will take place from October 7-12, 2025, representing an extraordinary opportunity for Dominican Sisters and lay mission partners from across 19 U.S. congregations to come together in reflection, discernment, and collaboration. Inspired by the mission of the Order of Preachers, this gathering will address the urgent call today to reimagine and revitalize the preaching and justice mission of Dominican Life. We recognize the challenges we face—within society, the Church, and our aging congregations—and remain steadfast in our commitment to co-creating a collective future.   

This will be a process of engagement that fosters dialogue, collaboration, and a renewed sense of mission. Encuentro 2025 will serve as a transformative space for Sisters and partners to explore new and innovative ways to respond to the needs of our time with creativity, courage, and hope.   

We humbly ask for your generous support for us to come together as preachers of hope and agents of transformation. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal and strengthens our collective mission.
