The <strong>Dominican</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong> is a congregation formed on Easter Sunday 2009<br />
from the union <strong>of</strong> seven former congregations <strong>of</strong> <strong>Dominican</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong>:<br />
• Congregation <strong>of</strong> St. Rose <strong>of</strong> Lima (Oxford, Michigan)<br />
• <strong>Dominican</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong>, Congregation <strong>of</strong> St. Mary (New Orleans, Louisiana)<br />
• <strong>Dominican</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong>, St. Mary <strong>of</strong> the Springs (Columbus, Ohio)<br />

• Eucharistic Missionaries <strong>of</strong> St. Dominic (New Orleans, Louisiana)<br />
• <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> St. Dominic <strong>of</strong> the Immaculate Heart <strong>of</strong> Mary (Akron, Ohio)<br />
A pontifical institute, the <strong>Dominican</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Peace</strong> congregation shares a common embrace<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>Dominican</strong> life and its mission which unites us to each other and to the work <strong>of</strong> Jesus<br />
Christ. We are <strong>Dominican</strong> <strong>Sisters</strong> whose mission, or “charism,” <strong>of</strong> preaching flows from our<br />
contemplation, study, and community. We are more than 600 <strong>Sisters</strong> and 500 Associates who<br />
live and minister in 28 States and in Honduras, Kenya, Mexico, Nigeria, Peru, and Vietnam.<br />
We are committed to greater involvement in the global community, simplicity <strong>of</strong> life, and itinerancy.<br />
Our diverse ministries include education, health care, social work, spiritual direction,<br />
and parish-based ministries among others. We serve in universities and colleges, high schools,<br />
elementary schools, literacy centers, ecology and spiritual outreach centers, parishes, prisons,<br />
and more. We work to create environments <strong>of</strong> peace by promoting non-violence, unity in<br />
diversity, reconciliation, and justice through solidarity, especially for women and children.<br />
