Collaborative Endeavors

We recognize the need and relevance of Collaboration.  As Sisters of Saint Dominic we have become engaged in activities and project that bring together the resources, expertise and shared values with others.  Examples of  these Collaborative Endeavors are:

Marian Woods Adult Home
Ridge Road, Hartsdale, New York
Marian Woods is an elder care residential facility that provide for the spiritual, emotional, and physical needs of aging religious.  Developed through a unique collaboration among five religious communities of women, Marian Woods is specifically designed to insure the continued long term care of our older sisters. 

The five Communities are the Sisters of Mercy, the Society of the Holy Child Jesus, The Sisters of Saint Dominic of Blauvelt, the Franciscan Sisters of Peace and the Sisters of the Blessed Sacrament. 

Dominicans of the Northeast
Our Congregation has entered into a process that is examining “closer union” with other Dominican Congregations in this area.  There are five other Dominican Congregations, Amityville, Caldwell, HOPE, Sparkill and Elkins Park.  We are carefully considering ways to help make our Dominican Life and Mission more effective and collaborative.

We have designed plans for one centralized Vocation office. Our promoters of Social Justice and Preaching meet regularly.

Federation of Dominican Sisters
We are among the twenty-four Dominican Congregations of Women that has formed a dynamic union to promote mutual collaboration among its members.  The Federation of Dominican Sisters, USA is a non-canonical organization that exists to provide greater support to the Dominican Mission.
