Ways to Give
Since 1850, our congregation of women religious has been sustained by faith, mission, and the generous partnership of those who believe in compassionate service. As preachers of truth, love, and justice, our Sisters embrace the mission to bring the Gospel to bear on the critical issues of our times with depth and compassion.
Through ministries in education, healthcare, and social services, we serve in schools, hospitals and clinics, affordable housing communities, retreat centers, and parishes. Your support also ensures that our senior Sisters—especially those residing at Dominican Convent—receive the attentive, dignified care they deserve after a lifetime of service to others.
We are deeply grateful for your generosity, which sustains our ministries, honors our elders, and carries our shared mission forward. You remain in our prayers.

Mass Remembrance Program
Prayer is fundamental to Dominican life. Through our Mass Remembrance Program, we maintain a list of requests and pray for all listed each month for a year. We offer a special card that you can send to yourself, or we can send it on your behalf from San Rafael for any occasion. A gift is not necessary; however, any gifts received through the Mass Remembrance Program are used specifically to Care for Our Senior Sisters.
ENROLL a name to honor or remember online here.
To request cards or materials, please contact the Advancement Office at 415.453.8303 or email develop@sanrafaelop.org
Visit our Heritage Room
The original four-story Motherhouse, built in 1889, was badly damaged by fire in 1990. We made the decision to replace it with the low, modern buildings on the same site. Fortunately, many precious reminders of our long history were saved. Our Heritage Room is curated by our congregational archivist. The items displayed help tell the fascinating story of our founding and thriving, throughout California and Nevada. We offer tours to the public each quarter, or can be arranged by appointment. Please call 415 453 8303 for more information.
