Committed to Truth, Compelled to Justice is the guiding principle of the Racine Dominican sisters and for their ministries, 501(c)3 non-profit organizations.
Through the decades, sisters have inspired or created ministries to address unmet needs in the Racine area. Many ministries have been organized and led by the lay community. Other once-active ministries no longer exist because objectives were achieved or there was no longer a need.
Today, the Racine Dominicans with the help of professionals, volunteers, and individual and corporate donors continue to help support these founded ministries: Siena Retreat Center (1966), Senior Companion Program (1978), Catherine Marian Housing aka Bethany Apartments (1991), Eco-Justice Center (2005) and the HOPES Center (2008).
Below are the mission statements of each Sponsored Ministry. To read more about the work of any of these wonderful organizations, click on the links below.
