Who We Are How We Build Peace Partners in Peacemaking Donate

“Just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. ” - John 13:34

These words from the Gospel of John are the model for our lives of preaching and service: we preach the Gospel of Christ’s love with our words and court actions.

With every domestic ministry we pursue, the Dominican Sisters of Peace strive to follow the exhortation of Christ: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me” (Matthew 25:35-36).

We invite you to learn more about the many institutions, centers, and programs that embody our central mission to be people of peace.

To preach peace, build peace and be peaceful in the world.
