Sisters are active, vowed religious women who are organized into individual Congregations, within which they minister as the common apostolate of the Congregation requires, or work in the public or private sector. The basis of all their activity is, again, the primary apostolate of preaching, although it may manifest itself in many forms: missionary work, teaching, social work, and so on. In common with the other branches of the Family, Sisters pray the Liturgy of the Hours, observe a regular practice of prayer and study, and live in community. Some wear a variation of the Dominican habit and some favor modern dress. Some live in community, in convents, and others live apart but come together often for prayer and sharing, which for all Dominicans renews them for their ministry.
There are many Dominican Congregations of sisters. To see them more in detail check Dominican Sisters International at http://www.dsiop.org
