We welcome with joy our new Holy Father, whose first words to the Universal Church were:
Peace be with you.
May this message of unity be heard around the world.

TheDominican Sisters of Peace and the Loretto Community have teamed up to place two billboards in Springfield, Kentucky, standing with those at the margins.
The billboards feature a photo of the Statue of Liberty, and the simple question, “When did we see you hungry, homeless, ill, persecuted?”
The sisters hope the billboards will persuade people to stand in solidarity with those affected by unjust immigration policies, job loss and systemic discrimination, and to urge Congress to enact comprehensive reforms.
The billboard placement is being marked by a community gathering May 6 at one of the signs to join the sisters of central Kentucky in raising awareness of the issues, as well as challenge people of conscience to commit to the efforts.
Across the nation, Dominican Sisters of Peace speak up for those Christ loved – the poor, the marginalized, the immigrant. Learn more here.

We are grateful to Suzanne Wong for her image of Signadou. Signadou (from the French, meaning ‘sign of God’) is the site in Fanjeaux, Southern France, where St Dominic’s vision for the Dominican Order began to unfold. We are blessed by Suzanne’s preaching.
