Celebrating Ministry During #CatholicSistersWeek
Since the early days of the Dominican Order, Dominicans have responded to the needs of the day. St. Dominic preached against a popular heresy. St. Catherine of Siena nursed the sick during a plague. Today, Dominican Sisters of Peace are ministering to those who are suffering from the COVID-19 pandemic with the help of Sisters on the Frontlines grants from the Leadership Collaborative in collaboration with Catholic Extension through the generosity of GHR Foundation.
We celebrate this Catholic Sisters Week by telling the stories of our own Sisters who have ministered to the needs of the day with the help of these organizations and those who support them. Please follow this page and our Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram pages to meet these Sisters.
