Life Through a Camera _ August 2018

Transition is hard, but the camera can still capture our smiles. After the first three weeks, our life together is beginning to settle into a rhythm that is less overwhelming than when we first began. Here's a glimpse into the highlights of our journey so far!

Gathering Together


We come together as individuals from different congregations in the CDN. 
We are welcomed as novices for all congregations in the CDN. 



Planting a New Community


Three novices with soil from their own motherhouses. 
Three different plants. 
One planter box. 
Water.  
Even in this heat, they are still alive.


Exploring St. Louis 


Things you must do when in St. Louis: 
Visit the Gateway Arch
Go to the Botanical Gardens
Attend the Festivals (not all of them... there's way too many)
 

Preparing for Study at Aquinas


There are many events at Aquinas Institute of Theology. 
Before classes began, there was orientation.
Before orientation, there was Dominican Day led by Sr. Ann Willits, OP, of Sinsinawa. 
We are meeting so many sisters and brothers from the Dominican Family.



Until next time...
please remember to pray for us
as we will remember to take pictures.

  1. Great photos! Thank you for sharing the journey. Blessings as you continue to find your rhythms of prayer, study, community and ministry. Remember there is Sinsinawa bread in the downstairs freezer if you need a treat. 🍞 ❤️

  2. Thank you for sharing your journey thus far ... looks like a great start to a great year! I loved my time at Aquinas, especially when we gathered for prayer for the feast days with ALL the Dominicans in the area ... I remember thinking - "WOW - I am a part of THIS!" You all will most definitely be in my prayers as you carry on!
