August 18, 2022, Seattle, Washington – Catholic women religious have served the people of the Northwest with joy and dedication in the past 156 years. Northwest Catholic, in an article by Jean Parietti, highlights this joyful service in areas from traditional education and healthcare to peace and justice ministries and advocacy against human trafficking and gun violence.
The article notes the spirit of collaboration among the sisters in the 27 religious congregations serving the Archdiocese of Seattle. Among them are seven legacy congregations that have served the area for about 150 years – including the Edmonds Dominican Sisters, which merged with the Adrian Dominican Sisters in 2003.
“We say that we grew up together, served in leadership together, and have been blessed to collaborate in ministries that meet the needs of the day,” said Sister Judy Byron, OP, Associate Director of the Intercommunity Peace and Justice Center. Sister Judy, a former Edmonds Dominican Sister, is one of the Sisters from legacy congregations who have been profiled in the article.
