The Relationships for Mission (RFM) Team offers the following resources to assist our Sisters, Associates, Dominican Volunteers, partners in ministry, and others to learn about and to deepen their knowledge and understanding of the Dominican mission to set out to preach the Gospel. The resources include book titles; downloadable brochures on the Dominican charism; short biographies of Dominican women mentioned in the 1860 Rule of the Sisters of the Third Order of St. Dominic written by Samuel Mazzuchelli, OP; and materials available from the RFM Office.  You are invited to engage in one of the essentials of the life of Dominicans—study—and then to share with others what you have learned.

In honor of the 800^th anniversary of the Dominican Order in 2016, we are making available online the following brochures that were written and edited by Sister Ruth Poochigian, OP.  Project coordinator was Sister Barbara Dannhausen, OP.
