From a casual beginning in the middle of a Michigan cornfield, Adrian Dominican Sisters have gone on to influence countless lives as educators, health care professionals, social workers, and pastoral ministers. They have become a voice for those who have been silenced, advocates for those suffering injustice and companions for the poor and most vulnerable among us. In their roles as administrators, retreat leaders, artists and musicians, they discover new ways to preach the Word of God. The Sisters continue to make a difference in our world.
Thank you for supporting the ministries of our Sisters through the Ministry Trust! Here is one example.

Friends in Solidarity with South Sudan collaborates with the Catholic Health Training Institute to support the empowerment of citizens in this young African nation. Ministry Trust grants provide full funding to support six students for a three-year nursing program to train South Sudanese women and men as certified midwives and registered nurses. The comprehensive training includes practical experience in hospitals and local clinics as well as trauma healing and peace making. This is only one of the programs sponsored by the Friends in Solidarity with South Sudan.
