As women consecrated to be free for God alone, our vocation places us In Medio Ecclesiae, in the heart of the Church and in the heart of the Order of Preachers. Such was the desire of St. Dominic in order to emphasize in a radical way the grace of contemplation, which is the very source of the itinerant apostolic life begun by him. Rooted in God’s Word through prayer, study, community life and hospitality, we partake of the universal mission of our Order, receiving in the inmost sanctuary of the compassion of hearts the needs of the entire human family especially for the salvation of souls.

Here at Corpus Christi Monastery we have the wonderful privilege of daily Eucharistic Adoration begun each day in the very early hours of the morning and ending after Compline. Throughout the day, each sister has at least one hour in which she adores Jesus, truly present in the monstrance, carrying in her heart the many prayer intentions that come to the monastery. In a particular way we pray for the growth in holiness and numbers of the priests and seminarians of the Archdiocese New York.
