Making a Difference ... Changing Lives

From a casual beginning in the middle of a Michigan cornfield, Adrian Dominican Sisters have gone on to influence countless lives as educators, health care professionals, social workers, and pastoral ministers. They have become a voice for those who have been silenced, advocates for those suffering injustice and companions for the poor and most vulnerable among us. In their roles as administrators, retreat leaders, artists and musicians, they discover new ways to preach the Word of God. The Sisters continue to make a difference in our world.

The comprehensive training includes practical experience in hospitals and local clinics as well as trauma healing and peace making. This is only one of the programs sponsored by the Friends in Solidarity with South Sudan.

Retirement Fund

Retirement Fund

Gifts to support our retired Sisters often reflect the gratitude our benefactors feel for the Adrian Dominicans they have known over the years. These contributions ensure that when our senior Sisters come to the Dominican Life Center, they will have the resources to maintain their independence as long as possible, receive the care they need as their health declines and experience their “home” as a safe and comfortable environment. 

Ministries: Ministry Trust Fund

Ministries

Adrian Dominican Sisters engage in diverse ministries “to further the values of the Gospel.” The Congregation’s Ministry Trust Fund awards grants to grassroots organizations, church groups, social service agencies and other outreach ministries in which Adrian Dominican Sisters are involved. In the most recent funding cycle, 28 grants (pdf), totaling $813,000, enriched lives, gave hope and empowered hundreds of individuals across the United States, Mexico, and the Amazon rainforest.
