Catching Fire From Dominic's Vision
Shared Sponsorship
Transitions, Spokane, WA
Transitions proclaims the Gospel daily in actions of love and service in Spokane, WA. Teaching abounds at each of our four locations—Miryam’s House, Women’s Hearth, Transitional Living Center, and EduCare. We learn from the women and children we serve, as we share community and model respect. Each of us is on a journey; Transitions offers support along the way to women and children in need. Those who suffer from homelessness, poverty, illness, addiction, violence, and neglect can come as they are and receive blessings.
