Supporting 103 <strong>Sisters</strong> in Nursing Facilities<br />
and 102 <strong>Sisters</strong> in Assisted Living Environments<br />
Most <strong>of</strong> our <strong>Sisters</strong> remain active in ministry well past the average retirement age. Even once retired from<br />
full-time ministry, some <strong>Sisters</strong> take on part-time ministries or volunteer positions to continue sharing the <strong>Dominican</strong><br />
Mission as they are able. Even near the end <strong>of</strong> life, most <strong>Sisters</strong> enter a ministry <strong>of</strong> prayer, interceding<br />
for the needs <strong>of</strong> the world, including those <strong>of</strong> the congregation and our families, friends, donors, and benefactors.<br />
