To join in the celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States of America’s Declaration of Independence, the Dominican Sisters Conference is remembering and honoring 250 Dominican women religious who have helped shape this country.
Honoring our patron saints, this celebration will begin on the Feast of St. Dominic (August 8, 2026) and conclude with the Feast of St. Catharine of Siena (April 29, 2027). We will highlight the contributions of 250 women in education, medicine, spirituality, social justice, and many other fields of influence.
The women we will feature have played a role in our country’s story since the first group of nine women said ‘yes’ to God and followed their calling to Dominican Life in February 1822.
From that first group of sisters in Kentucky, to New York, California, and many places in-between, join us on our journey to honor the past and present of Dominican Sisters in the United States.
