What drew me to the Adrian Dominican Sisters When I met our Sisters in my country in 1993, I became captivated by their passion to: Preach Truth, Make Peace, and Reverence Life. I also learned to read the Word according to the signs of our times while developing a loving, deep, and intimate relationship with our Beloved God and all creation.

Thus, I believe in the future of religious life and I feel blessed of being part of it!
