Our Mother House, the Community's "home base,"The Convent of the Transfiguration in Cincinnati, Ohio. is in Cincinnati, Ohio. Normally there are 25 to 30 Sisters at the Mother House, including those in the Novitiate.  In addition to the Convent,       St. Mary's Home, Bethany School and several guest houses are located on our grounds.     St. Monica's Recreation Center is about two miles away, in Lincoln Heights.  On the Cincinnati page you will find links to information about each of these ministries.

Sisters of the Transfiguration have served in the Caribbean since the 1930's. For many years Sisters worked in Ponce, Puerto Rico with "street boys," and in the jails. In 1984 two Sisters were sent to San Pedro de Macoris, in the Dominican Republic. They began a ministry to the children and families of Barrio Las Flores, an impoverished area (one of many) where there is a continual need for food, clean water, basic shelter and medical care.

Recently, at the request of the Bishop of Puerto Rico, a Sister and an Oblate of the Community have returned to Ponce to explore ways the Community might again serve there.

Finally, for many years members of our Community lived and worked in San Mateo, California.  Among other ministries, the Sisters welcomed many to a camp and retreat center called "St. Dorothy's Rest."  Currently we have two Sisters who live and work in Eureka, California. Theirs is primarily a ministry of hospitality, retreats and spiritual companionship.
