We celebrate Sr. Mary Ann Fatula’s 60th Jubilee as a Dominican Sister of Peace! She has been ministering as a Sacristan at Mohun Health Care Center for the last several years and offering prayer for others. We are grateful for her 30 years of ministry at Ohio Dominican University as a theology professor and for her books, including the most recent, “The Wonders of the Mass and the Eucharist: Insight of the Saints.” Sr. Mary Ann began her ministry as a high school math teacher at St. Mary’s High School in Lancaster, Ohio, so serving others and education has been intertwined through the years! Thank you for all you have given of yourself, Sr. Mary Ann.

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.
