Clean Water for All
Please take some time to watch a video from "Water by Women" suggested by Sr. Judy Morris. 
It is a moving seven-minute video depicting a love story of mothers in Honduras working to provide clean drinking water for their children and neighbors. From Honduras to countries around the world and the Navajo Nation in the United States, Water By Women wrote the script for life-saving miracles taking place every day.
You will see the harsh realities of drinking dirty water and the reminder -- the resource to provide is love. Please click here to view the video; to learn more about Water by Women you can click here.

From Our Founded Ministries
Devotions and Donuts, a Student-Led Ministry
St. Agnes Academy Freshman Religion teacher Corinne Gardino is always looking for innovative ways to help her students have a deeper connection with their faith. So, when she was approached by students last year asking for a Bible Study, she responded with Devotions and Donuts. Devotions and Donuts is a morning devotional time run by St. Agnes 9th-12th graders. Students meet before school, twice a month, on the second and fourth Wednesday mornings. Read more here.

Dominican Learning Center's Big Anniversary
Monday was a wonderful day at the DLC!  It was time to celebrate its 30th Anniversary with an open house and a dedication ceremony attended by learners, tutors, staff, and supporters. It was great to see a full house at the event which included the Bishop, the Most Reverend Earl K. Fernandes, Bishop of the Diocese of Columbus, who offered his blessing and thanked all who have contributed to the Center's success. The DLC's history, its current programs and hopes for the future were highlighted and commendations and letters of thanks from government leaders were received.  Please see a few images from the occasion by clicking here.
