Inspired by the spirit of St. Dominic and imbued with the vision of our foundresses, Sister Thomasina, de Chantal and Aloysia, the Tacoma Dominicans respond to God’s call to proclaim the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Our Dominican tradition of contemplation impels us to collaborate in networks of spiritual, educational and political commitment to create a just society that addresses basic human needs and ends the violence that erodes our planet.
