July 8, 2022, Tecumseh, Michigan – Sister Mary Louise Putrow, OP, author, and Associate Arlene Bachanov, Editorial Assistant, will offer a presentation on Seeds of Change, the latest history book of the Adrian Dominican Sisters. The presentation – held on Zoom from 7:00 to 8:00 p.m. EDT on Tuesday, July 19, 2022 – is sponsored by the Tecumseh District Library.
Seeds of Change covers the years of 1962 to 1986, including the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ pivotal 1968 Chapter of Renewal, held in response to the Second Vatican Council’s call for renewal of congregations of women religious in the Catholic Church. Through text, photos, and interviews with Sisters who lived through the years covered by the book, Seeds of Change tells the story of the many changes that took place during those decades that still affect the Congregation today.
More information can be found on the Tecumseh District Library’s Facebook post. Registration to receive a Zoom invitation can be accessed here.
