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.

Annual Fund

      Many thanks to all who have given to our 2011-2012 Partners in Mission Annual Fund Campaign.  1100 donors have given a little over $325,000 so far this year.  Amazing!  We are truly blessed to have such generous support from so many wonderful donors.  Gifts to the Annual Fund support the sisters' active ministries, help maintain their aging facilities, and care for the retired sisters who have lived their lives in service to others.  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.
