Sisters of the present era read Sacred Scripture, Catholic Teachings, Dominican
History, and the writings of Catholic theologians. In addition to religious studies, they have
advanced education in history, science, math, languages, literature, music,
fine arts, philosophy, education, medicine and psychology. Shared study of current events, social
justice and contemplative dialogue are hallmarks of contemporary Dominican religious
formation. Devotion to Mary continues to
inform us as preachers and bearers of the Word.
