History

Initial conversations about a "closer union" among Dominican women's congregations began about ten years ago. These conversations gave birth to the formation of a Federation of Dominican women in the United States. A smaller group made up of four and then eight Dominican groups also began to come together to discuss possibilities for the future. These eight groups formed what is known as the Dominican Alliance. The Alliance now numbers 13 congregations, the latest group to join are the Dominicans of Racine, Wisconcin. Over the years we have discovered that our mutuality is found in our common Dominican heritage and our commitment to mission. We have agreed that we want to enter into this relationship for the sake of carrying our mission into the future and  more effectively sharing resources. We bring the strength of commitment, financial stability and a long history of ministry to this relationship.
