PURPOSE

The purpose of this Conference is to serve as an association
for collaborative leadership among elected leaders
of Dominican religious congregations and provinces
of women and men of the United States of America.

MISSION STATEMENT

Preaching is at the heart of the Dominican vocation
The Dominican Leadership Conference claims for all members
of the Dominican Family the right to preach
and commits itself to the struggle this claim entails.
The injustices of our day compel us to place the charism
of preaching at the service of the poor and powerless.
The Dominican prophetic message, rooted in experience,
study, and prayer, will move both preachers and hearers
of the word to act for the transformation of oppressive structures.
The Conference on its part will act corporately,
confronting evil with the Gospel and
working for the construction of a just world order.
We embrace the mission of preaching for justice
with a commitment to act in collaboration with one another
and all those with and among whom we minister.
