In 1896, Mother Rose Niland founded the Newcastle Dominicans in Newcastle, KwaZuluNatal, South Africa. Their motto is Veritas (Truth), and their charism is to bless, preach, teach and praise. They live a consecrated life in community, and they vow obedience, chastity and poverty. Niland’s formation methods attracted many vocations.
Later, their responses to the Arum Indigenarum document, Vatican II and the intensification of Apartheid caused a decline in vocations. Without a vocations promoter and appropriate formation programmes focused on spirituality, ethics and cultural awareness, they failed to attract and mentor local black women.
As their numbers decreased, the sisters no longer had a strong ministry in schools and hospitals. They diversified their ministry, and abandoned their veils and habits; this made them less visible.
However, the growth of vocations in the Zimbabwean and Montebello congregations suggests strategies that the Newcastle Dominicans could employ to attract vocations
