As vowed women we belong to the larger Dominican Family. We preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ, in the spirit and tradition of Saint Dominic, with the charism of our foundress, Mary Ann Sammon. Our Dominican motto to praise, to bless and to preach the Word of God permeates our lives of service, prayer, study and community. We serve in a variety of ministries including social services, pastoral care, medicine and health care, and education.

Our Mission is to preach the Good News of the compassionate love of God for each person with a special consciousness and presence to those who are poor and on the margins of society. Our charism is rooted deeply in the Gospel of Jesus and is expressed in our works through compassion, justice, hope and healing.

As Dominicans of Blauvelt, we commit ourselves to intentionally embrace the future with hope.  We recognize that God’s design is one that leads us to a greater understanding of the sacredness and oneness of all creation.
