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

Breezes of God’s love
inviting us to…

A new season with a harvest of bright colors

…connect with all of creation
October has pumpkins
that make us smile
An opportunity to share…
…lots of joy
…extend welcome with mercy and justice
…center one’s life in God’s way
Oh Autumn~~
Such a delight to be …
…a blessing of Jesus’ love
…a spark of the divine here on earth

God is here… right now. Touch the spirit of Autumn
and you will become part of the message of Jesus’ love.
