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 world on fire.

Call to Action
March 2026
A wonderful new month arrives with
a new season too~~
March …with green shamrocks
a parade to honor St. Patrick
reminding us to be faithful and hopeful
Springtime, too, will break through the ice and snow
with a few buds blooming
with opportunities to be…
…servants of love
…disciples of charity
…apostles with prayerful hearts
…good Samaritans of unconditional love
How wonderful is this month of March
that re-energizes our spirits
and very often brings us into a
Lenten spirit that will finally welcome
Easter time into our hearts.
So…as you turn the calendar to
a new month
Remind yourself that this is
another holy opportunity
to be Jesus’ love in …
…caring and kind ways
…valiant and resilient ways
…compassionate and merciful ways
…joyous and friendly ways
Have a wonderful March Journey of Love.
Pray for Peace in every human heart.
