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

June 2026

A New Month and A New Season Arrives…Summer
The clouds seem so close to the earth
as if we could touch them and feel the
soft gentleness of our Creator’s love.

The Sun shines with its’ extra warmth that
fills our hearts and encourages us to…
…walk with nature as a gift of joy
…pick a flower to bloom on our kitchen table
reminding us that we too as a human being can
bloom and shine with Jesus ‘ love just where we are.

Feel the warmth of the Sun-Shining as it arrives and helps us to
welcome the slower days of Summer time and to put
extra love, hope, peace and joy into each day.

Oh how shall you (me too ) be a source of the warmth
of this June sun-shine calling us forth to share …
…the hospitality of nature’s love
…the commitment of a servant of God
…the Beatitude of being a Blessing of Peace

Happy Sun-shine month of June to all.
