The Dominican Sisters of Houston is a Catholic community of women whose mission is "to publicly commit ourselves to study and address the crucial justice issues of our times." The sisters' active ministries include teaching and school administration, prayer, campus ministry, parish ministry and others.
This stained glass window is located in the chapel of St. Dominic Villa on the motherhouse grounds. The design depicts followers of Saint Dominic; both men and women, through the centuries. Those with facial features represent followers canonized by the Church while the remainder repesent all Dominicans, religious and laity, preachers of Truth, who have entered and partnered in the mission.
On Sunday, April 29, the feast of Catherine of Siena, the Dominican sisters, family and friends gathered at the Dominican Center for Spirituality to welcome new members of the Dominican Family.
As Catholics faced with critical choices during the election year, we come together as faithful citizens guided by the Gospel command to love our neighbors, protect the most vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Please consider making your gift to this year's Annual Fund by July 31st. Every gift makes a difference and ensures the success of our mission. Thank you for supporting the Dominican Sisters of Houston. May God bless you, heal you and fill you with light.
