Dominican Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary

The Monastery of Our Lady of the Rosary in Summit, New Jersey was founded in 1919 by Mother Mary Imelda Gauthier, OP and 13 Sisters from the Monastery of the Perpetual Rosary in Union City, NJ. Mother Mary Imelda founded this new monastery with a two-fold vision that, over 100 years later, continues to characterize the community. This new monastery dedicated to Our Lady of the Rosary was to be both American in its approach and fully incorporated into the Order as Nuns of the Order of Preachers (The Union City monastery was a diocesan “3rd Order” cloister). Our monastery expresses the Dominican monastic life that is over 800 years old in a way that is rooted in the tradition yet lived in the 21st century. Currently the community comprises of about 20 nuns from the ages of 26-91 with a median age of 36. The nuns come from 14 different states and 5 different countries.
