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.

Shamrocks remind me of hope twirling into life.☘️
Hope is a courageous virtue to nurture, live and share
It gives meaning, purpose and sustenance to our journey
here on earth.
Tending to hope is a way of extending Jesus’ love
here on earth.
The spiritual and corporal works of mercy show us
the path of Hope made visible in ordinary and
sometimes extraordinary ways .
I hope each one of us is a sign of
joy and hope wherever we are
Hope is that little flame that is filled with
the spark of divine love.
Imagine being Hope incarnate today….
…feed those who hunger for friendship
…give hope to those thirsting for justice
…comfort those who mourn for peace
May each one of us twirl into life today
with wonderful hope.☘️
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
