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…..

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.

A Humble Tree for December
One little light atop the tree
Shines deeply into a world
where differences need not divide us,
but rather gift us with a
more loving heart.
That one little light reminds us to…
…extend peace to one another
…share a kind word
…give sincere comfort to those who are bereaved
…give genuine respect to persons struggling
…be a witness of faith lived well
…have a prayerful heart
…listen with an open heart
…accept one another with charity
Like a humble little star, let us set out each day to journey with a light of hope, love, joy and peace during these Advent December days so that we can arrive on Christmas day and season with a radiance within that shines goodness out into the world.
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
