The First Sunday of Advent

 

 

 

As each of us makes a place in our hearts for the coming of Christ, how can you help bring hope and peace to those around you?

 

 

 

 

 

Can you offer hope to the homeless? Sr. Gemma Doll ministered to refugees fleeing violence by serving at the KINO Border Institute.  Working in the kitchen, the medical office, and in the desert, Sr. Gemma followed the word of God by bringing comfort to the marginalized.

 

 

 

 

 

Can you care for the Earth? Sr. Barb Harrington, OP, is an environmental volunteer at the Crystal Springs Preserve in Plainville, MA. The property was donated to the Wildlands Trust by the Dominican Sisters of Peace in 2022, and will be protected as a natural space forever.

 

 

 

 

 

Can you offer comfort to those who are ill and troubled? The Dominican Retreat and Conference Center in Niskayuna, NY offers counseling and programs for those struggling with addiction or recovering from trauma.

 

 

We preach peace daily by offering hope and comfort to God’s people in need, wherever they are. Help us continue to care for God’s people.
