of the greatest values the Dominican Sisters uphold is community.
The meaning of "community" has evolved over the years
and today has multiple expressions , but nonetheless we remain connected
in a special way through community. In community we find diverse
opinions and prayer styles, respect for the individuality and needs
of each in light of the common good, and Sisters living in small
or large groups, as well as singly. For the Dominican Sisters, community
is about relationships and involves direct and loving communication,
openness, and flexibility to change. Together we respond to the
needs of others and support the preaching of the Gospel.

COMMUNITY Benefits:
• when one sister is honored,
all are honored
• when one suffers,
all suffer
• when one is
healed,
all are healed
• when a sister
stands against injustice, she is not alone
• the care we
show our sisters reflects our commitment to one another
