Happy Feast Day of St. Catherine of Siena...
Patron Saint of women who are 'a bit too much'!
She knew what God was calling her to -- and it wasn't marriage. Instead she lived like a Dominican Friar helping the poor, praying without ceasing and advising leaders -- even the Pope!

Excellent conference for our communicators!

Happy 111th birthday to our very own Sister Francis Dominici Piscatella, OP: oldest Religious Sister in the United States! We are so proud of her, her many years of teaching, her deep prayer life, & her devotion to God & his people.
