© 2004 Vision of Hope	The Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose—committed to teaching the young and the poor—offer hope and empowerment through a quality Catholic education. The Sisters provide educational leadership in 22 schools, including eight inner-city schools serving more than 1,903 students in San Francisco's Mission District, East Los Angeles, South Central Los Angeles and Oakland. In 1995, the Dominican Congregation established Vision of Hope to perpetuate ongoing financial support for their inner-city schools. The mission of Vision of Hope is to ensure the quality, affordability and vibrant future of these inner-city schools, the children and the communities they serve.
