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

November…A Month to Practice Gratitude

November begins with celebrating the Feast of All Saints
This reminds me that we are called to live holy lives…
…think of others needs
…practice sharing simple kindnesses

Think of people who inspire you …
…to be compassionate
…to share comfort for the sorrowing
…to imitate virtues that sow peace

Think of Giving -Thanks …
…for the graces given to be loving
…for the ability to be a good listener
…for the faith to share in words, deeds and actions

Be grateful this month especially for the opportunities to…
…give humble service
…take time to share prayer moments
…be an echo of Jesus love in your ordinary life

And most of all…every day in November
whisper a prayer of gratitude to God. Amen.
