Dominican Sisters of Charity of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin

We are called to follow Christ in the total gift of our being according to the charism of Blessed Marie Poussepin, “to live and die in the service of the Church, in the exercise of charity.” (Constitution)

We are an international, multi-cultural missionary community of vowed religious sisters following the footsteps of Saint Dominic in 36 countries. Our Dominican life is both active contemplation and contemplative action dedicated to prayer, study, community and ministry.

We are attentive to the call of the Church since 1696 and we serve the poor in education, health care and social justice/pastoral ministry. We are engaged in charitable work worldwide to sow seed of hope and give voice to the cry of the poor.

Our U.S. community serves in the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C. and the dioceses of Fall River, Massachusetts and Brownsville, Texas. We also serve in the Archdiocese of Tegucigalpa, Honduras, Central America.
