PRAYER REQUESTS

AUTHENTIC

We thank you for all your prayers for our Jubilarian Sisters this year. Our celebration was surrounded with JOY as we honored those Sisters who have been consecrated to our Lord for 40, 60, 70, and 75 years. The smiles were endless as we filled the Church of St. Joseph with prayer and song, and continued to party at our Motherhouse after the Mass. We are so very blessed, and our God continues to walk with us and work through us as we serve the Kingdom of God.                                                                           Photos: S.

It is a joy to serve our Congregation and give leadership to the Direction Statement from our General Chapter.  We desire to “live out of a deep center of love” as we minister to “the young, the poor and the vulnerable” with joy, building “bridges of love” and unity in our world today.

CONGREGATIONAL PRIORESS

We, the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, the Congregation of the Queen of the Holy Rosary, are called to live and proclaim Jesus Christ through evangelizing, preaching, educating, and promoting justice and peace.

In the spirit of St. Dominic and of our foundress, Mother Maria Pia Backes, we witness to this call through our vowed life.

Our prayer, study, ministry, and life in community empower us to participate in the mission of Jesus, especially among the young, the poor, and the vulnerable.

Our Mission Statement

“Mary Magdalen went and announced to the disciples,  
‘I have seen the Lord!’”  John 20:18

Appearing to Mary Magdalen, Jesus sent her to the community to tell the good news of his resurrection. We, too, are sent to go forth and tell others the good news of God’s love.

The Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose, the Congregation of the Queen of the Holy Rosary, currently ministers in California and Mexico.
