We will work to transform social structures which oppress the powerless, ministering with them in our common struggle to remain faithful to the Word of God.

Our mission as Dominicans is to proclaim the Gospel Word through preaching and teaching. We are called to contemplate and to hand on the fruits of that contemplation for the salvation of all. This mission is central to our community, and ministries are continually adapted to the current needs of the Church.

All members are called to participate in the mission of the Order of Preachers according to their diverse abilities, gifts, training, and call. We discern as community and as individuals within the community how to be faithful both to the congregational charism and goals, and to our own unique giftedness. We are encouraged to seek new modes and places for preaching and teaching which remain true to the original inspiration of Dominic. We are urged to continue the preaching as it is exemplified in the life and work of Catherine of Siena, and of all the women of our Houston congregation who have preceded us. We are strong in our commitment to minister with and on behalf of the poor, and to advocate for justice.

Our sisters minister in education, parish ministry, religious education, social services, campus ministry, counseling, hospital and port chaplaincy, medical, legal, family and women's services, ministry with the aging, music and art, our Guatemala mission, retreat work, community organizing, and refugee assistance.
