Final Profession

Reach out to our Vocation Directress for spiritual guidance and join an upcoming inquiry weekend at our Warri Motherhouse.

Spend one to two years living alongside the sisters, deepening prayer life and sharing daily community tasks and apostolates.

Two dedicated years of intense spiritual studies, Dominican heritage, and field experience before taking temporary vows.

After years of temporary vows and active mission in education or healthcare, commit your life permanently to Christ as a Dominican Sister.

Novice Testimony

In the quiet of our morning chapel and the warmth of the creek clinics, I found the deep joy of giving my whole life to Christ.
