The Dominican Nuns of Summit, New Jersey are a Roman Catholic cloistered monastic community. Our primary mission is to pray for the salvation of souls, and to support the preaching mission of the Dominican friars. We follow the Rule of Saint Augustine in “oneness of mind and heart” while leading a hidden life of Eucharistic prayer, adoration, thanksgiving, and intercession which proclaims Jesus Christ to the world.
After 90 years on this “city set on a hill” the Nuns must renovate their existing monastery and expand in order to provide for the needs of their elderly and infirm sisters and for the future of their new sisters in formation. Find out how you can help!
As though the physical renovations of our monastery aren’t enough it just so happens that the “renovations” of our website are coming together and soon you will see our new Gift Shoppe!
Because of this the online gift shoppe will be closed for a few days. We are sorry about the inconvenience and wanted to let you know a little bit ahead of the actual fact but there has been so much going on at the monastery as we continue to move the kitchen and the soap department that we haven’t been able to post this information.
