We Dominican Preachers of Adrian, impelled by the Gospel and outraged by the injustices of our day, seek truth; make peace; reverence life. 

- Adrian Dominican Sisters Vision Statement

Part of the Adrian Dominican Sisters Vision Statement is "reverence life.” What does it mean to reverence life?  What does it look like in an ever-shifting and evolving world/culture? This week, we explore some of the ways in which Sisters approach this call to care for God’s Creation. Visit this webpage or our social media accounts daily for updates.

As Sisters, Associates, and Partners in Mission, we are constantly working to Reverence Life – but what does that mean? We asked several Sisters the question, “What is Life?” These are their responses.

Check out our interview with Sisters here:

January 26, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – On behalf of Adrian Dominican Sisters and Associates, the leaders of the Congregation announced their support of a statement by the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR), calling for an end to violence.

In the light of growing global violence and, at home, the killing in Minneapolis by ICE agents of Alex Pretti, 37, on January 24 and of Renee Good, 37, on January 7 – two citizens exercising their rights to protest government policies and actions – we stand with the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) in “unequivocally denounce[ing] the use of violence in any form.”

As Dominicans whose motto is veritas (truth), we also call for truth-telling by all government officials – pursuant to thorough and impartial investigations of fact, not speculation.

We join with LCWR in stating that “Our hope does not rest in force or fear, but in the transformative power of love lived boldly and together.”
