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.

Call to Action
November 2024
November …the month of “gratitude”. 
What are you grateful for…
…family
…community
…health
…faith lived-well
November like the leaves changing colors
teaches us to accept and let go,
so we see the promise of every new moment.
Perhaps November with its’ crisp breeze and deeply
felt spirit of hope and renewal gives us that deep
holy reminder that we are meant to be the
sacred word of gratitude for one another .
Who are you grateful for…and why?
What wonderful act or deed will you share today that someone
will feel deeply grateful for?
Let us give wondrous holy meaning to life’s journey~~~
Be grateful for…
…sunshine and joy
…breezes of comfort
…moments of giving-thanks
…prayers of compassion
Happy Month…of being ever so “grateful”.
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
