WHO ARE THEY?
The Dominican Sisters are more with the people than they used to be. They are developing their own form of Dominican life, suited to their culture, while retaining the essentials. It is a time of growth and maturity for them and a time for Australians to continue to support them, in a way that will encourage them to explore new ways of ‘ being good news’ to the people.

MISSION & VISION
As Dominican Sisters of Eastern Australia and the Solomon Islands we are called to be faithful to the Truth in ourselves and others and in our world, so that through critical reflection we shall respond to the needs of our time, particularly as these relate to the global struggle for justice and peace and thus we try to make real the reign of God.

HISTORY
In 1956 the Dominican Sisters of Australia established a mission in the Solomon Islands in conjunction with the Dominican Friars. As at June 2007 there are twenty-three Solomonese Sisters, one novice and five postulants. The Sisters minister in the Western Solomons – Gizo, Loga, Canaan, Nila, Wagina, Sirovanga, Moli and Honiara in the areas of nursing, teaching and pastoral care.
