The Dominican Sisters Conference
Unites the sisters and associates of U.S. Dominican Congregations in their mission to preach the Gospel of Jesus, standing as a clear voice for truth, justice, and peace.
We are Dominican Sisters—faithful women rooted in the bold and beautiful tradition of the Order of Preachers. As part of a global family of friars, nuns, sisters, and lay partners, we carry the Dominican charism into today’s world with passion and purpose.
The Dominican Sisters Conference (DSC) is a collaborative network that brings the power of our shared mission to life—locally and globally.
Grounded in prayer, study, and community, we respond to the urgent cries of our time: the suffering of the poor, the injustice around us, and the fragile state of our Earth.
Inspired by the courage of St. Catherine of Siena and the vision of St. Dominic, we speak truth with compassion and act with conviction. Our diversity is our strength—drawing from many voices, cultures, and experiences, we come together as a unified presence of hope.
Through deep reflection and courageous action, we proclaim the Gospel in ways that heal, challenge, and transform. In a fractured world, we are a living sign of unity and a collective voice for justice.
To achieve its goals, the Dominican Sisters Conference:
- Builds relationships of support and collaboration among member Dominican congregations through communal reflection on the Dominican values of prayer, study, community, and ministry
- Collaborates both locally and nationally to advance the goals of the Promoters of Justice, Preaching, Communications, and Vocations
- Builds relationships with the wider Dominican Family, especially Dominican Sisters International
- Develops resources and structures that animate and sustain its mission and goals
- Utilizes emerging technologies and social media to enhance communication
