Our Extended Family
Our former members, lay colleagues and support staff are members of our extended family, remaining connected with us for generations. As a community we are blessed by many men and women who share with us their time, talent and treasure.
Our Associates
The Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose Associate Program is an association for men and women, single or married, who wish to deepen their spirituality and give formal expression to their relationship with the Dominican Sisters. It is a relationship which the Associate and the Congregation build together for the development and growth of the Church in the modern world. The Dominican Sisters and their Associates "share spiritual gifts so that they may be mutually encouraged by a common faith."(Rm 1:11-12)
If you have a desire to enrich your spiritually through formal relationship with the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose; a willingness to support Congregational goals and values; a willingness to pray for the Congregation; and some previous association with the Congregation, we invite you to find out more about our Associates Program by sending an email to associates@msjdominicans.org.
Associates share in the values and goals of the Dominican Sisters by understanding and embracing Dominican spirituality as a way of seeking God. They share in the daily Eucharist, prayers and apostolic works with the Dominican Sisters. They receive regular updates about Congregational news and concerns and are committed to daily prayer for the Congregation.
