Six sisters of the Dominican Order in the country successfully held their retreat at the Charity Sisters’ facility at Buma Catholic Station, Malaita Province. 

The retreat which ran from September 20-24, is an annual event that the Dominican Sisters hold to have free time and revisit the journey they have gone through. 

According to the retreat master, Fr John Adai, it is the precise time for them to stop their daily work of spreading the gospel and look back on their journey. 

He said that during such a programme, they also spend their time in prayer and personal reflection. 

“The most important thing is that it is a time to stop and look back. A time to make a redirection for a new start. A beautiful time of prayer and personal reflection,” said Fr Adai.

He stressed that it is also a time to look back, re-strengthen, and revitalise.

Fr Adai mentioned that retreat programs are organized annually and recollections are held monthly.

Meanwhile, media reports indicate that the Dominican Sisters are diverse Catholic women who belong to various congregations within the Order of Preachers founded by St. Dominic.

They are also as mentioned, devoted to living by the Dominican charism through prayer, study, community, and ministry and often focus on teaching, caring for the poor and suffering, preaching the gospel, and advocating for justice.

Also stated is that their daily life is structured around four pillars namely; engaging in consistent prayer, academic study, fostering community life, and serving others in various ministries.

The primary mission of the Dominican Sisters is to preach the truth of the Gospel to others.
