The Dominican Melting Pot
Our little St. Louis family is a representative slice of
both the larger Dominican family and the United States. We are intergenerational,
inter-congregational, and inter-cultural.
I was the oldest novice and a mother.
Bea (pronounced “Bay-uh”), originally from Budapest, Hungary, taught Religion
to 1st through 6th graders in Akron, Ohio. She is moving soon to Connecticut where she
will be living with other sisters in a house of discernment, working in two
parishes as a Pastoral minister, and studying theology part-time. Christina, born and raised in Manila,
Philippines, moved with her family to the Bay Area when she was 18. While her degree is in Civil Engineering, she
has spent the past two years at Dominican University in San Rafael as a campus
minister. She is moving soon to San
Francisco to study theology full-time at GTU.
Sisters Joye and Megan continue to hold down the fort at the CDN as Co-Directors.
I’m grateful to God for each of these women. They have
broadened my world perspective and enriched my life beyond measure!
How about you? How
have you experienced and welcomed the world as melting pot?
