The search for truth is a lifelong endeavor and Dominican institutions of higher education seek to cultivate critical thinking and the pursuit of truth by encouraging students “to contemplate truth and to share with others the fruits of this contemplation.” Dominicans “are seekers of light, insight and an ever deepening understanding of other people, the world around us and the action of God.”
As noted in the Constitutions of the Dominican Sisters of Peace, the sisters “welcome the diversity of ideas that leads to a deeper understanding of truth. We engage in critical reflection, communal study, and dialogue on issues affecting our community, Church, and world. Through the search for truth, we strive to create and sustain a more just society, one that reflects the compassion and generosity of God.” (Constitutions, #22)
The sisters sponsor and minister at Albertus Magnus College in New Haven, Connecticut and at Ohio Dominican University in Columbus, Ohio.
