Support our Sisters serving people on the margins

For a moment, will you walk with Sister Katrina and Sister Barbara in the shoes of those they serve?

One welcomes families seeking food after fleeing war or hardship. Another accompanies Native American communities through years of listening, relationship, and faith. 

Yet together, they tell one story.

Will you help make a difference?

Springfield Dominican Sisters have always gone wherever people are most in need—not because the work is easy or financially rewarding, but because the Gospel calls us there. 

Today, many of our sisters continue serving in ministries that provide little or no income. At the same time, more sisters are entering retirement than are serving in salaried ministries that once helped support our congregation. That means your generosity is more important than ever. It allows our sisters to continue serving others while also providing for their own health, daily needs, and future ministry.  

This ministry of compassion needs your help.
Are you able?

Every gift is an investment in a ministry of presence. 

It helps ensure that Springfield Dominican Sisters can continue accompanying people on the margins with compassion, hope, and the love of Christ—for years to come. 

A gift from you can

        • Provide support for Sr. Katrina to assist immigrant families and others in need;
        • Help Sister Barbara with traveling expenses as she shares the Gospel with indigenous familes in the wide open places; or
        • Support the sisters with supplemental health and personal needs as they serve others.

 

Sisters Barbara and Katrina have responded to God’s call to walk with people who are suffering. Every day they are faced with a scarcity of resources, including the richness of a caring presence.  When you make a gift to them and their ministries you walk in their shoes and honor the human dignity of those they serve. Thank you!
