Our Mission

We renew our commitment as Dominicans to preach the Gospel message of truth, justice and compassion, recognizing that we do this most authentically by who we are.

1. We will create opportunities for deepening our theological understanding, particular in the areas of
   - the summons to preach ... which is ours by baptism and our Dominican profession
   - the status of women
   - interfaith dialogue/relationships.


2. We will develop ways to deepen our Dominican Spirituality and communio.


3. We will examine our attitudes, and implement structures for inclusivity, within and beyond the Congregation.


4. We will take steps to increase our visibility through a more clearly defined and distinctive Dominican stance.


5. We will work for the transformation of ecclesial, social and economic structures of oppression, globally and locally.


6. We will identify and nurture the signs of new life, prophetic vision and action in our midst.


7. We will continue to discern and take action around issues of eco spirituality and sustainability.


8. We will review our leadership structures and processes (including those of Chapter) to ensure that they promote most effectively our identity and mission.
