Current Mission
The congregation serves in ministries of education, healthcare and social service and the other ministries that have developed from them. Adrian Dominicans serve in these ministries in 30 US states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Canada, Dominican Republic, Italy, and Swaziland.
The Adrian Dominican Sisters have an associate program consisting of women and men who associate with the vowed members for their own spiritual growth and support in their own ministerial lives under the inspiration of the Dominican tradition. The congregation sponsors two universities, a healthcare system (Catholic Healthcare West) to which its two hospitals belong, and one long term healthcare facility.

“Perhaps the mission of those who love mankind is to make people laugh at the truth, to make truth laugh, because the only truth lies in learning to free ourselves from insane passion for the truth.”
