A spirited, hope-filled and hardworking group of approximately 130 Dominican Sisters, all under 70 and from different congregations, states, and countries—Philippines, Mexico, and Dominican Republic— gathered in Columbus, Ohio, this past weekend, July 27-30, 2023, to participate in the “Creating Our Future Together” convocation. The group ranged from those beginning their novitiate (5) to those who have been members for decades. Twelve sisters attended virtually. Clearly evident among all was a passion to preach the Gospel message that brings life to the world through their lives and actions.

On Friday, April 21st, approximately one hundred people, including students and faculty from our academies in Jersey City, Montclair, and Caldwell, associates and sisters, gathered to celebrate Earth Day with prayer, student presentations and song. We were reminded not only to cherish and to give thanks to God for the gifts of Earth but also to act in ways that help to preserve and enhance the unity and integrity of the community of life locally and globally. It was a truly inspiring occasion!

Associates and sisters gathered on April 15th for a beautiful morning of fellowship and service making rosary beads. The finished rosaries will be sent to either St. John’s Soup Kitchen or St. Benedict’s in Newark and distributed to those in need. We pray for all those who made rosaries and all who will pray these rosaries.

It’s not often that a 21-year-old artist has the chance to interview a 101-year-old religious sister whose artwork can be seen around the world. But that was the case when Caldwell University's Benjamin Fernandez paid a visit to our Sister Gerardine Mueller ‘54, OP, a master artist and founder of the university’s Art Department.

Sister Patricia M. Wormann, a member of the Sisters of St. Dominic in Caldwell, was recently honored for her longtime commitment to education during the Scholarship Fund for Inner-City Children’s (SFIC) first-ever Irish American Leadership Breakfast. The event also raised $91,000 — which is $16,000 more than SFIC’s target goal — to fund partial tuition assistance scholarships for underprivileged students attending Archdiocese of Newark Catholic schools.

The Caldwell Dominican associates and sisters spent Saturday morning reflecting on the stories of women in the Bible.
