What attracted me to this community:
The most attractive part of this community is the sheer amount of joy. It is truly palpable. I am drawn by the way this joy is shown; through the love that the Sisters have for each other, for the world and for their God. They are extremely hospitable, welcoming, and affirming.
What attracted me to this community:
I initially contacted the Relationship for Mission team in spring 2015 after feeling drawn to the Dominican charism and discerning I wanted a community closer to my family in the Midwest. During my visits to the Mound and interactions with Sisters and associates in 2015, I appreciated the joyful spirit, commitment to learning, emphasis on justice and peace, and life of prayer that I witnessed.
What attracted me to this community:
The Congregation Mission Statement, “to proclaim the Gospel through the ministry of preaching and teaching in order to participate in the building of a holy and just Church and society.” The mission confirmed God’s call in my life to preach and teach the Gospel to all nations.
What attracted me to this community:
I found the congregation’s website link on the Diocese of Phoenix vocations page and the four pillars of community, service, spirituality, and study and it immediately drew my attention. When I later visited Sinsinawa Mound, I immediately related to the values of truth, justice, compassion, hospitality, and community.
