THE CONVENTUAL SISTERS OF ST. DOMINIC:

The Conventual Sisters of St. Dominic are a newly erected Religious Community of Diocesan Right in the Diocese of Wagga Wagga.

Their way of life reflects the purpose of the Order founded by St. Dominic - "to contemplate and to give to others the fruits of contemplation". The sisters wear the long white habit with scapular, black cappa, black veil and rosary of the Dominican Order.

Living a conventual (monastic) life-style, they retain the traditions of this Order in matters of prayer, apostolate and customs: singing the Divine Office in choir five times daily, reading, studying and contemplating Divine Truth, and sharing its riches with others through their apostolate of teaching. A semi-contemplative community, they are committed, as was St. Dominic, to the salvation of souls through their prayer, penance, service and witness, and to a total adherence to the Magisterium and the abiding traditions of the Church.
