Associates are companions to the Sisters in the journey of “Holy Preaching,” and bonded to the congregation through this commitment. Associates are invited to: • Participate in the prayer and mission of the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville in a non-vowed way. • Live the Gospel life through the lens of the Congregation’s Vision Statement. • Pray with a local community monthly, attend Congregational days of prayer and study, and participate in the ministry of the Dominican Family. If you are interested in learning more about Dominican Associates, please contact Dr. Virginia Campbell at: associates @ amityop.org Associates Dominican Youth Movement USA The Dominican Youth Movement USA is a partnership of people committed to passing on and integrating the Dominican charism into their lives. DYM USA connects today’s youth and young adults to the Dominican tradition of preaching. Programs and workshops offer a time, place, and context for building faith and strengthening young people’s commitment to God, community, family, p reaching, social justice and the Dominican Order. These dedicated young adults have been an integral part of Dominican ministry. In conjunction with the Sisters of St. Dominic and Molloy College, DYA members have participated in programs like Boxtown, serving the homeless, and joining the Sisters to work with the poor in El Salvador. If you would like to learn more about this powerful youth movement, please contact S. Gina Fleming, OP at promoterop @ gmail.com or visit www.dymusa.org. Dominican Youth SISTERS OF ST.
