Who We Are

Founded in 1876, the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill is an apostolic community of vowed women religious and associates who live and minister primarily in New York, Missouri, and Pakistan. We live our mission to proclaim the reign of God through ministry for justice and reverence for all creation. In our life together, we embrace a radical living of the gospel through prayer, contemplation, and action.

Faithful to our heritage as followers of Saint Dominic, the Dominican Sisters of Sparkill are committed to the pursuit of truth to address more effectively the needs of our suffering world, bringing hope to the world by our peaceful presence of joy and compassion. In collaboration with Dominican Sisters throughout the United States, we preach the Gospel of Jesus, standing as a clear voice for truth, justice, and peace.
