Community
Community is indeed the first and most believable gospel that we preach, and this, because the preaching of the reign of God ( be it through prayer or otherwise through the active apostolate) becomes credible only when the persons who speak or pray, as the case may be, have themselves experienced that life of love in a community.
Mindful of this, we nuns constantly endeavor to humanize our community, striving to build bonds of genuine fraternal love and affection among ourselves with the well desired effect that our monastery bears the warm and tender ambiance and aura of a caring and thoughtful family.
We likewise, greatly appreciate our belonging to the larger Dominican family that consists of: the Dominican friars, the nuns themselves, the Dominican apostolic sisters, the Dominican laity and the Dominican youth.
We also enjoy and indeed cherish other close and equally important relationships and interactions with among others:
- The natural families of each individual nun,
- The monastery’s material and spiritual benefactors,
- The monastery’s neighboring communities.
