===Associates===

In the 20th century, Associates who share the Dominican [[charism]] with congregations of religious sisters were formed. Dominican Associates are Christian women and men; married, single, divorced, and widowed; clergy members and lay persons who were first drawn to and then called to live out the charism and continue the mission of the Dominican Order – to praise, to bless, to preach. Associates do not take vows, but rather make a commitment to be partners with vowed members, and to share the mission and charism of the Dominican Family in their own lives, families, churches, neighborhoods, workplaces, and cities. They are most often associated with a particular apostolic work of the congregation of active Dominican sisters to which they belong.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.domlife.org/beingdominican/WhoWeAre/Associates.htm |title=Who Are Dominican Associates? |access-date=2015-04-03 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150331235853/http://www.domlife.org/beingdominican/WhoWeAre/Associates.htm |archive-date=2015-03-31 }}</ref>
