The Annual Great Bend Raffle is a Dominican Sisters of Peace tradition… not just because our friends can win wonderful hand-crafted goods and cash prizes, but because every ticket sold benefits our ministries!
Your purchase of a Great Bend Raffle ticket goes directly to support our work to assist the poor here in our own backyard, like Sr. Janice Thome, shown here loading boxes of groceries into her car at the Emmaus House food bank. She distributes them to the poor in the Garden City area.
Sr. Carol Gaeke is celebrating her 60th Jubilee this year, sharing wonderful memories with fellow jubilarians. When she’s not connecting with our Sisters, she visits the homebound at Holy Spirit Parish in Columbus. With nearly ten years as a Mission Group Coordinator in Dayton and Columbus, she also served as Parish Life Director at the Church of the Ascension in Kettering, OH, for five years and also directed personnel and ministry in Elkins Park, PA. Her experience includes Campus Ministry at Siena College in New York and directing religious education in New York and the Cincinnati area. Thank you for your many ministries, Sr. Carol, and happy 60th Jubilee!

The Order of Preachers, abbreviated OP, is also known as the Dominicans, after our founder, St. Dominic. The Dominicans were the first itinerant order, leaving the monastery to preach the truth of the gospel and Christ’s love.
The first Dominican institution was a convent in the French city of Prouille. The order was founded in 1215 in Toulouse, France.
The first Dominican women religious in America were our foremothers, the Dominican Sisters of St. Catharine, founded in 1822 in Kentucky.

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.
