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.

Papal Prayer Intentions for August 2025
For Mutual Coexistence
Let us pray that societies where coexistence seems more difficult might not succumb to the temptation of confrontation for ethnic, political, religious or ideological reasons.

Brightness of Being a Blessing
August is a month of sunlight.
This makes me think of the sun-light of the Beatitudes.
The Blessedness of the Beatitudes represent the heart of Jesus’ message.
During this month of August let’s be Beatitude People.
- Blessed are the poor in spirit…let’s recognize our dependence on God
- Blessed are those who mourn…let us be compassionate hearts with the “gift of tears” (Pope Francis)
- Blessed are the meek…be gentle of heart and non-violent
- Blessed are those who hunger and thirst…do God’s will with a just heart
- Blessed are the merciful…mercy is full of forgiveness
- Blessed are the pure of heart…express your faith in loving ways
- Blessed are the peacemakers…is a call to be a peace-giver
- Blessed are those who are persecuted…be a person who extends heart-peace
Let us strive during the last month of summer to be the brightness of Jesus’ Love by the way we speak to and about others.
May the sun-light of our actions be a wonderful, holy reflection of the “blessedness” of being. The sunshine of our faith lived with an open heart. Amen💓
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
