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 July 2025
For formation in discernment
Let us pray that we might again learn how to discern, to know how to choose paths of life and reject everything that leads us away from Christ and the Gospel.
Call to Action

December 2023
During the month of December we celebrate the Advent days that bring us on a “pilgrimage of light” to Christmas Day. Four weeks of Advent time bring Lights that are filled with…
…Good News
…Life-Giving Scripture
…Transforming Messages
…Inspiring Witnesses
…Challenging Actions
…Heart-Peace Connections
…Inspiring Prayers
The Advent~~Christmas season is a holy time to be “transformed” as we dare to become more reflective of the light of God’s love in our ordinary and daily encounters especially those that challenge us and call us forth to rebirth Jesus love…just where we are.
O how will you and I be a Christ-Bearer of the holy lights of Advent~~ Christmas time?
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
