What's Happening

May 20, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – On behalf of the Adrian Dominican Sisters and Associates, the Adrian Dominican Sisters General Council issued the following statement in response to the shooting at the Islamic Center of San Diego.
 
We Adrian Dominican Sisters stand with Episcopal Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde and Rabbi Susan Shankman in expressing our horror at the May 18 attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego. We extend our prayers and condolences to those who lost loved ones. 
 
This past year, there have been violent attacks on Catholic, Latter-day Saint, Jewish, and Muslim houses of prayer. As women of faith, we join Bishop Budde and Rabbi Shankman in saying, “An attack on one community’s sanctuary wounds us all.”  We join them in working “to promote and protect each faith tradition’s rightful place among us."

April 15, 2026, Adrian, Michigan – On behalf of Adrian Dominican Sisters and Associates, the General Council issued the following statement in support of Pope Leo XIV and his Gospel stance for peace.
 
In this Easter season of new life, our nation is poised to plunge into a cataclysmic war or to secure a diplomatic pathway to peace with Iran. We join with Pope Leo in prayer, urging the path to peace. “Enough of war! True strength is shown in serving life,” the Pope said during his Prayer for Peace on April 11.
 
We stand with the Leadership Council of Women Religious in expressing strong support for the Pope “as he continues to speak with clarity and conviction as a moral voice in our world.”
