About the Author

The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, is a Dominican Community of Women Religious based in Ann Arbor, Michigan and founded in 1997 to spread the witness of Religious Life in accord with Pope St. John Paul II's vision for the New Evangelization. Through the Sisters' profession of the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, along with a contemplative emphasis on Eucharistic adoration and Marian devotion, the Community exists for the salvation of souls and the building up of the Church throughout the world. As Dominicans, the Sisters' primary apostolate, the education and formation of young people from pre-kindergarten through college, also reaches out to the modern culture with a variety of new forms of evangelization including the employment of a wide variety of media activities. The Community's average age is 30 years old, and it has grown from its original four Foundresses to over 130 Sisters in its 20 year existence.
