NEWS AND NOTES​

  • The Dominican Sisters of Our Lady of the Springs held their Fourth General Chapter on June 21-24, 2018 at Saint Vincent Ferrer in New York City.  The Sisters elected Sister Christine Cosgrove, OP to serve as Prioress of the congregation for the next three years.  The delegates also elected Sister Gail Morgan, OP as the First Councilor and Sister Mary Elena Rizzo, OP as the Second Councilor.  Congratulations and Blessings to these Sisters!
  • Congratulations to Sister Serafina, O.P.! Sister Serafina was honored by the Diocese of Pittsburgh as she received a "Golden Apple" on June 5th for her 35 years of excellence in Music Education for the children of the Diocese. 
  • On Sunday, August 27th, Father Walter Wagner, OP blessed the scapulars, veils and rosaries for three sisters who will begin to wear the traditional Dominican habit on September 8th.  After prayerful reflections, three of our Sisters have made the decision to wear the traditional habit of the Dominican Sisters.  The distinctive habit is a part of the long tradition of Dominican women and men who witnessed to their identity as those who are committed to the lifestyle of Saint Dominic.  Sisters Martha Kunesh, Christine Cosgrove and Gail Morgan made their decisions based on a personal choice to be consciously identified as a woman religious and a Dominican Sister.  These Sisters are responding to a personal commitment to "reading the signs of the times" and responding to a more radical witness as Dominican Sisters.  We are very grateful to the Dominican Sisters of Saint Cecilia in Nashville for helping us make our habits and for their continued prayers and support.
  • Congratulations to the 124 graduates of the Class of 2018 from Saint Vincent Ferrer High School.  These new alumnae graduated on June 3rd  from the beautiful Saint Vincent Ferrer Church.  All of these graduates will pursue educational opportunities in post-secondary institutions through out the United States, and in Europe and Japan.  Collectively these students merited more than $25.9M in academic scholarships and grants.

Our Mission

The charism of the Dominican Order inspired the framework for our 800-year-old mission in the Church. St. Dominic responded to the needs of his time, recognizing heresies that could be countered only by knowledge of the Real Truth and delivery of this Truth by holy preachers. The Dominican motto, VERITAS (Truth) is as essential today as it was in the 13th century. The call for a new evangelization by Pope John Paul II, articulated again by Pope Benedict XVI, requires fidelity to VERITAS.
