Nine years ago, four Dominican Sisters from Nashville decided to create a new Dominican order. Today, there are 73 members, and the group continues to grow...This is great news of a wonderful blessing in a world of confusion and darkness.
Mother Assumpta Long, Sisters Joseph Andrew, Mary Samuel Handwerker and John Dominic Rasmussen started as Dominican Sisters of St. Cecelia Congregation in Nashville. They felt called to answer John Paul II’s call for a new evangelization within religious life and formed the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist.
As seen in their name, the Eucharist and devotion to the Blessed Mother are at the heart of this community. The nuns begin each day with a Holy Hour and Mass. They also recite the rosary daily and participate annually in St. Louis de Montfort’s total consecration to Jesus through Mary.
The Sisters are hosting vocations discernment retreat weekends this coming Nov. 5-6, next Feb. 24-25 and next May 26-27. For more information, visit: www.sistersofmary.org.
And remember them in your prayers.
