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 work on fire.
– St. Catherine of Siena

Call to Action

March 2023

March brings many wonderful moments
Lent in full bloom… with sacred prayer moments
Spring time arrives… with a change of season
Daylight Savings Time… brings more sunlight to each day
St. Patrick’s Day… a parade of joy
And… a journey to the Easter Season

March is a month of many moments.
Each a treasure of life from God.
We might just say that every day
has God-moments.
These are moments when God’s presence,
plan and love are revealed.
And usually …even the ordinary of life
has moments to treasure.
We call them gifts, blessings and graces galore.
Everything in life is of God…
…a neighbor waving
…a friend sends a card
…someone brings in your garbage cans
…the sunset shining on a bud on your driveway
…prayers offered to comfort or give thanks

Add some of your own moments to this list.
“All things were made by him, and nothing was made without him.” – John 1:3
