Visit this website to hear S. Mary Pat Neylon's grateful acceptance speech when the Nassau Knights of Columbus donated $25,000 to the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville for the good work they have done -- the impact they have made on Long Island and its people. THANKS ALL AROUND!

In these polarized times, a group of Sisters published a book called, "However Long the Night." It tells of a time -- 2009 to 2015 -- when the Vatican Office investigated the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, an organization that boasts 60,000 Catholic Sisters.
It was a challenging and hurtful time for Sisters, which became a sacred time. This is the story of those women who wanted to share those experiences -- including our own Sister of St. Dominic, Mary Hughes, OP. The lessons they learned were brought to light through their prayerful and hope-filled traditions. These practices can serve as a light to anyone in conflict today. Available on Amazon.

The Sisters of St. Dominic were blest to be the recipients of this year's Nassau Chapter Knights of Columbus Gala on April 15, 2018 at the Chateau Briand in Westbury. The Knights raised more than $25,000 to thank the Sisters for their contributions to Nassau County through their many ministries in schools, hospitals, parishes and more.
This was a sold out event and the Sisters felt blest by so much love! Thank you K of C for your support!
