The Dominican Sisters have marked a century of presence and ministry in Melbourne, commemorating the arrival of the first four pioneer sisters in August 1926.✨

It was a joy-filled occasion for the five senior sisters who continue to live and minister in Camberwell, ‘standing on the shoulders’ of the many sisters who have served in Victoria over the past 100 years.

The Dominican Sisters of Eastern Australia & Solomon Islands are celebrating 100 years in Victoria this year. The current community of five and their many…

Mes Dominicano por la Paz 2026
México: Un país sediento de paz 🇲🇽 🕊

Durante los últimos nueve años, la Orden ha seleccionado un país afectado por graves conflictos y violaciones de derechos humanos como el foco del Mes Dominicano por la Paz. Su propósito es llamar la atención de la Familia Dominicana sobre las dificultades que enfrentan nuestros hermanos y hermanas en ese país. Hasta ahora, nos hemos enfocado en Colombia (2017), la República Democrática del Congo (2018), India (2019), Ucrania (2020), Venezuela (2021), Myanmar (2022), la Amazonía peruana (2023), Haití (2024) y Camerún (2025). En este décimo año, 2026, nuestro enfoque es México, que también conmemora el 500 aniversario de la presencia y el ministerio dominicano en el país.

El Mes de la Paz comienza el primer domingo de Adviento y nos brinda la oportunidad de orar por nuestros hermanos y hermanas de la Orden que enfrentan diversos desafíos y solidarizarnos con ellos. Este año, el Mes de la Paz comienza el primer domingo de Adviento, 29 de noviembre de 2026.

Our hearts are particularly close to the people of Nepal, following the catastrophic flash floods that struck the Himalayan region on 26 August. The disaster devastated communities along the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli river systems, destroying homes and infrastructure and leaving many people dead or missing. Rescue and relief operations continue amid difficult conditions and the danger of further flooding.
We invite all Dominican Sisters, Associates, collaborators and friends to remember the people of Nepal in prayer, especially those who have lost loved ones, those still missing, the injured and displaced, and the rescue and relief workers serving affected communities.
Let us also remember all people affected by natural calamities around the world. May these experiences deepen our commitment to ecological conversion and to building communities that protect life, strengthen resilience and care for our Common Home.

As the prevalence of HIV/AIDS intensified in Zambia in the late 1990s, many children were left orphaned or abandoned, while others found themselves living on the streets without food, shelter, healthcare or education.

In response, the Dominican Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Jesus opened two transient homes in Ndola in 2000 to provide temporary care and protection for displaced children. With support from St. Anthony Parish in Italy, the sisters established St. Anthony Children's Village in 2003, where babies and children with special medical needs were transferred, while the transient homes continued to serve school-going children.

« La vie change en une fraction de seconde. »
Le 24 juin, à 18 h 04, le Venezuela a été frappé par deux tremblements de terre consécutifs (7,2 et 7,5 sur l’échelle de Richter). Les conséquences de cette catastrophe naturelle sont inimaginables : des milliers de vies humaines perdues, impossibles à quantifier, de nombreuses personnes ensevelies sous des tonnes de décombres, et des témoignages de survivants profondément bouleversants.
Aujourd’hui, avec notre peuple, nous nous sentons vulnérables face à la douleur et à la tristesse. Mais, comme Jésus, nous demeurons confiantes et soutenues par l’infinie miséricorde de notre Père, car, au cœur même de la souffrance, il est toujours possible de contempler les miracles de vie et d’amour que Dieu seul peut accomplir.
