Specify Alternate Text

June 16, 2017, Adrian, Michigan – Sister Elise D. García, OP, General Councilor of the Adrian Dominican Sisters, was one of three religious whose articles on the vow of poverty were included in the Spring 2017 issue of Horizon, the journal of the National Religious Vocation Conference. In the article, she connects voluntary poverty, as practiced by Dominicans, with the Order’s call to mendicancy – relying on God and on others for their daily sustenance – and on the urgent need today for a more sustainable and less consumer-oriented lifestyle. Read the entire article.
