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.
– St. Catherine of Siena

Call to Action

July 2024

We are reminded early in July on July 4th to Celebrate the Spirit of America. Let’s celebrate with…
…unity
…respect
…hope
…better understanding
…compassion

Let’s celebrate the month of July with caring for one another…
…by being extra kind
…accepting differences with respect
…being responsible stewards of the earth

Let’s celebrate with a prayer in our heart and spirit.
Take time on these warm July Summer days to reflect on the gifts of America…
As We The People …
…establish justice for all
…insure domestic tranquility
…provide for the common good
…promote general welfare
and…
…secure the Blessings of Peace for ourselves and our posterity.

What a wonderful way to share our mission of being an American by being “a people”.
To be “a people” (Pope Francis) means our family of earth is united by human solidarity. This unity is born of “closeness” to God in our daily encounters.

What a blessing to be an American “people” …a variety of cultures, colors, beliefs and dreams.

We are “a people” given dignity by God.

Share this blessing especially especially during this July 2021

Become the Blessing of Love
accept one another…
as a brother, as a sister…
one heart united under God.
