Mission Statement
We Dominican women religious, called to be signs of joy and hope, commit ourselves to incarnating the Gospel, deepening our life of prayer, searching for Truth, discerning the needs of the Church and ministering to the people of God.
Heart to Heart Ministry is a reflection of this mission statement by inviting people to participate in spiritual programs …heart to heart.
Behold my children, the heritage I leave you… have Charity one for another, guard Humility… make your treasure out of Voluntary Poverty…..
– St. Dominic
Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.

Papal Prayer Intentions for March 2026
For disarmament and peace
Let us pray that nations move toward effective disarmament, particularly nuclear disarmament, and that world leaders choose the path of dialogue and diplomacy instead of violence.
Call to Action
October 2024
I love the Autumn season as it welcomes pumpkins …
…so orange and bright
…decorating the landscape of life
…all sorts of sizes and shapes
Some with cut out faces
become Jack-o- lanterns
with a light within. 
Aaaah~~ to have a light within
shining…
…peace to all
…sharing deep compassion
…welcoming all
Can we dare in our simple and humble ways
to shine with an inner light
…hope born of peace
…respect that restores hope
…charity that heals
Oh let us happy a happy pumpkin day…everyday. Amen. 
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
