The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist is a Roman Catholic community of women religious. Our community was founded in the Dominican tradition, as a response to Pope John Paul II’s call for new religious foundations to embody the graces of the New Evangelization of the third millennium Church.

Through profession of the vows of chastity, poverty, and obedience, along with a contemplative emphasis on Eucharistic adoration and Marian devotion, our community exists for the salvation of souls and the building of the Church throughout the world.

Our foundation, thus, draws from the dynamism of the “new”, the vitality of the New Evangelization, and the rich heritage of the “old”, the cherished tradition of the Order of Preachers. While we espouse the impetus of Pope John Paul’s exhortation, Vita Consecrata: “…the church needs the spiritual and apostolic contribution of a renewed and revitalized consecrated life…”, we cling to the time-tested charism of our holy father, St. Dominic, and the Dominican Family that follow in his footsteps today.

We are consecrated women first, and so our foremost model is Mary, the Mother of God. Inspired by the spirit and energy of St. Dominic, our prayer comes first so that our apostolic work overflows from a contemplation nourished before the Eucharist.

Our apostolate as spiritual mothers, follows upon the “old” of preaching and teaching the Truth in order to gain souls for the Kingdom of Christ. We fully embrace the demands of our culture and society today, giving “new” voice and flesh to the Gospel, which we carry to all those we meet.

While our Motherhouse is in Ann Arbor, Michigan, our apostolic endeavors frequently bring us to other parts of the United States and beyond.

We invite you to learn more about our involvement in the New Evangelization, rooted in the enduring Dominican tradition, through this website.
