The Dominican Sisters of Peace were honored to participate in the annual vocations program for young women hosted by the Serra Club of North Columbus. Religious sisters from across the Diocese of Columbus gathered with middle and high school students from Catholic schools throughout the diocese to share their vocation stories and offer insights into the joys and experiences of religious life.
Sisters Ana and Pat enjoyed meeting the young women, answering questions, and testing everyone’s knowledge during a lively game of Catholic Trivia. The event offered an opportunity for students to learn more about religious vocations and reflect on how God may be calling them to serve.

As the United States commemorates the 250th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the Dominican Sisters Conference is honoring 250 Dominican women religious whose lives of faith, service, and leadership have helped shape our nation.
Beginning on the Feast of St. Dominic (August 8, 2026) and continuing through the Feast of St. Catharine of Siena (April 29, 2027), this special celebration will spotlight women whose contributions transformed education, healthcare, spirituality, social justice, and countless other fields.
Our story begins in February 1822, when nine courageous women in Kentucky answered God’s call to Dominican life. Since then, Dominican Sisters have served communities from coast to coast, leaving a lasting legacy of compassion, justice, and hope.
Join us as we celebrate the remarkable women who have carried the Dominican mission across generations and continue to inspire the future.

The Dominican Sisters of Peace and our Associates warmly welcome you to join us along a journey toward a more peaceful, equitable, and just tomorrow.
In keeping with the four pillars of the Dominican Charism, Prayer, Study, Community and Service, our Sisters around the world show our love of God through our service to God’s people. Our multi-cultural, multi-generational Congregation serves in 27 dioceses across the United States and in Nigeria.
As members of the worldwide Order of Preachers, we share the Gospel of Christ’s peace through our words and through our lives.
The Order of Preachers, abbreviated OP, is also known as the Dominicans, after our founder, St. Dominic. The Dominicans were the first itinerant order, leaving the monastery to preach the truth of the gospel and Christ’s love.
The first Dominican institution was a convent in the French city of Prouille. The order was founded in 1215 in Toulouse, France.
The first Dominican women religious in America were our foremothers, the Dominican Sisters of St. Catharine, founded in 1822 in Kentucky.

We are grateful to Suzanne Wong for her image of Signadou. Signadou (from the French, meaning ‘sign of God’) is the site in Fanjeaux, Southern France, where St Dominic’s vision for the Dominican Order began to unfold. We are blessed by Suzanne’s preaching.
