Dominican Family News: Associate Commitment Ceremony
Beautiful Happenings in Memphis
The Memphis Dominican Family gathered September 14 at St. Agnes Academy-St. Dominic School Campus for the annual Commitment Ceremony and Planning Meeting. We are grateful for the seven new Associates for making two-year commitments and for four Associates renewing commitments for four years. Most of the 72 active Associates and Sr. Cathy Galaskiewicz form Five Wisdom Circles, each of which plans a major event for the entire Memphis group during the year, as well as small group gatherings.  Twenty-four Prayer Associates complete the Memphis Dominican Family.  Click here to see photos.
