We affirmed our commitment to the Laudato Si movement and explored how we will continue to grow in this call to transformation. Each of our Sisters’ communities will identify how this commitment will shape our shared life as we begin a new academic year in September. We created the following statement to honor our commitment to care for creation.

Animated by the Dominican charism and the spirit of Mother Maria Pia Backes, we, the Dominican Sisters of the Congregation of the Queen of the Holy Rosary, commit to our on-going conversion and join the global community in restoring right relationship within ourselves, others, and all creation. With the Laudato Si Action Platform (LSAP), we commit to daily live an integral ecology and practices that witness to the sacred care of our common home. Widening our hearts, we stand in solidarity with the cry of Earth and humanity in preaching the Truth of the Gospel of love as we listen to and minister with the young, the poor and the vulnerable of our world.
