Grey Sisters Dominican Republic Verified listing

In 1951, four Grey Sisters, invited by the Scarboro Fathers, arrived to begin their mission of teaching in the Dominican Republic. The parish school grew in spite of struggles with space, language and lack of funds. The school authorities soon recognized the work being done by the Sisters and requested of them that they work in the public school system. The government provided a school building and a residence for the Sisters. The desire for education spread rapidly - the grade school had to be extended and a high school was built.
The work of the Grey Sisters in the Dominican Republic expanded into health care, pastoral work and the formation of adult leaders and catechists.
Over time, Canadian and Dominican members of Las Hermanas de la Immaculada Concepcion served in Yamasa and Consuelo and in the barrios of Sabana Perdida and Los Prados in Santo Domingo.
