Amityville Dominican Sisters
Mission Statement

We Dominican women religious, called to be signs of joy and hope, commit ourselves to incarnating the Gospel, deepening our life of prayer, searching for Truth, discerning the needs of the Church and ministering to the people of God.

Heart to Heart Ministry is a reflection of this mission statement by inviting people to participate in spiritual programs …heart to heart.

Behold my children, the heritage I leave you… have Charity one for another, guard Humility… make your treasure out of Voluntary Poverty…..
– St. Dominic

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.
– St. Catherine of Siena
