Church Documents on Religious Life

As Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist, we seek to live our religious life as daughters of the Church.

As such, we draw inspiration for the living of our religious vows from the teachings of the Church, including some of the documents below.

    Starting Afresh From Christ: A Renewed Commitment to Consecrated Life in the Third Millennium

    Novo Millennio Ineunte - At the Beginning of the New Millennium - John Paul II

    Perfectae Caritatis - Decree on the Adaptation and Renewal of Religious Life

    Essential Elements in the Church's Teaching on Religious Life

    Fraternal Life in Community
