On July 29, six sisters from the Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist in Ann Arbor made their Perpetual Profession of Vows, with Bishop Boyea presiding. The order, which was founded in 1997 by four Dominicans, now has approximately 110 professed members. With emphasis on the Eucharist, Marian devotion, and the New Evangelization, the sisters serve as educators and preachers for the formation of young people in schools throughout the country and beyond. They also own and administer two Catholic academies in Michigan.
