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.

For the proper use of wealth
Let us pray for the proper use of wealth, that not succumbing to the temptation of selfishness, it may always be put at the service of the common good and solidarity of those who have less.

the month of Mary’s Feast

…prays with an open heart
…seeks good meaning and purpose
August… reminds us of appreciating…
…nature’s message of sun-light
…Mary’s holy beads of love
…little steps of kind inspiration
…the blessings of compassion shared and received
August… brings us to a sacred space of…

Take these August days…and let the warmth of
Jesus love and Mary’s faithfulness be your
companions of goodness and joy.
