About

I am Sister Pat Farrell, OP  -  a Dominican Sister of San Rafael. We are known as the Order of Preachers, and the Dominican charism of Preaching is very real in my life. The words of St. Paul resonate within me:
“Woe to me if I do not preach the Gospel!” (1 Corinthians 9:16)

I live at St. Rose Convent in San Francisco with 5 other sisters. I enjoy walking, geocaching, and hiking.
The San Francisco Bay Area is a perfect place to do this! I am the Vocation Minister for my congregation. That means that I work with women who are thinking about becoming a sister/becoming a nun. It is a great joy and privilege to share in the spiritual journeys of both women and men who are considering religious life. Yes, I have great conversations with men who are thinking about becoming a priest or brother.
