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…..

Be who God meant you to be and you will set the work on fire.

Call to Action
August 2022
August Sunshine 😊
August…a Summer month with lots of sunshine
Perhaps one can learn to focus
on the warmth of God’s “unconditional love”
Lessons learned…
…to be kind-hearted
…more understanding that
differences can enrich us
…to listen with an open heart
…to forgive and not to hold a grudge
Remember…
the warmth of “unconditional love”
can help us to develop a center of…
…peace and compassion
…charity and empathy
…goodness and joy
Let us during these hazy, hot days of August
be reminded of a deeper way of sharing
God’s creative sunshine through our…
…good deeds
…good friendships
…good holy prayers
…good kind words
😊
and you will find in doing so~~
a sacred place and space full of sunshine
that is reflected in your heart and spirit
and shared with all those you encounter.
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
