Dominican Sisters of the Presentation
Today, more than 305 years after our foundation, with 2,800 sisters, our Congregation can be found in 36 countries enriched by diverse races, cultures and nationalities. Its strength is that we are a miracle of grace when we witness our sisters ability to become inculturated in the different areas of our world becoming one with the various values, mentalities, and activities of different peoples.

Daily hundreds of our sisters in community try to make real an effective charity in action, that receives its life from a deep personal relationship with God which enables them to be a part of a living history that seeks to make Gospel charity more visible in our world. This is our richness. It reveals the magnanimity of God's gift and freedom of the Spirit for the good of His Church.
