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

Call to Action
May 2025
May is a time of seasonal changes.
Little buds become flowers.
Gardens are planted and thriving.
Windows open…and gentle breezes
sing a welcome of…
…longer days filled with light
…walks in the sunlight or sitting on a porch
or in one’s backyard
May is a time to think about Mother Mary and
her humble yes to bring Jesus’ love into the world.
Let us in our own humble way say a yes
to plant a garden of virtues filled with…
…goodness
…kind caring
…understanding hearts
Let us bring the sunlight of peace into the world by…
…always being respectful of all people
…having a heart filled with wonderful compassion
…stirring a prayer into the sunrise and sunset of each day.
Blessings as you hold your sacred beads whispering a
Hail Mary…for world peace each day of May.
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
