Welcome!
The Dominican Sisters of Houston is a Catholic community of women whose mission is "to publicly commit ourselves to study and address the crucial justice issues of our times." The sisters' active ministries include teaching and school administration, prayer, campus ministry, parish ministry and others.
Dominican Family
Lay Dominicans play an important role in the Dominican Family. They are women and men - married, single, divorced and widowed who seek to live the Gospel message in their daily lives through their relationships in their homes and workplaces.
On May 2 and June 12, 2010, 51 women and men made a commitment to live the Dominican charism which is to seek truth, preach the word of God, and promote the dignity of all persons.
