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

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.

A Month of Giving Thanks

Each day of November, think of someone or something you are thankful for.

How did that person or event influence your life for the better?

How were you…
…inspired
…challenged
…blessed
…graced

Now remember there are every day ordinary people and events that will unassumingly share God’s Glory.

We should certainly count our ordinary blessings, and make each one count with goodness galore.

The invariable mark of deep wisdom is to see the miraculous in the very common.

To be grateful…..is to recognize God in everyone and everything.

Pray for Peace in every human heart.
