On-going Formation

Religious formation is a lifelong process that is taken seriously by the Dominican Sisters of St. Cecilia. Traditionally, the sisters have taken the summertime to pursue advanced degrees and enrichment classes in both sacred and secular fields. It is a matter of fidelity to our charism, which calls us to possess the truth we are asked to share. The Congregation seeks to ground the sisters in sound theology, first on the undergraduate level and later the pursuit of masters degrees. This summer sisters are also pursuing degrees in philosophy, history, English, liturgy, administration, accounting, and computer science. In addition to formal study, sisters will participate in seminars on religious life which cover the vows, community life and Dominican Spirituality.
