Amityville Dominican Sisters
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

December 2022

December …is a month of sharing some Spiritual Lights

These “Holy Lights” are full of…
…caring
…acts of simple kindness
…gifts wrapped with Love
…singing of carols
…forgiving with all your heart
…listening with wonderful patience
…decorating with lights of Joy
…instilling Hope into our world
…kneeling in prayer at a manger
…trusting that we each can say a “Yes” that brings Peace

Christmas is a holy time to come to the sacred place of Bethlehem
where Jesus is born as we each share and live our faith courageously.

Come Lord, Jesus …be born in our heart every day.
May this Christmas season remind us that the angels sang…
Let there be Peace on Earth. 🌍

*(Reread the “ Holy Light” list above …take those humble thoughts
with you during this month of December and into the New Year.)
