Maryknoll Sisters of St. Dominic and
Blauvelt Dominican Sisters gathered at Maryknoll, July 15-17, 2016.
The primary purpose of the weekend was to provide opportunities for
sisters in temporary profession to get to know one another. But the weekend
also provided an important forum where significant sharing and collaboration
between the two Dominican Congregations happened.
The weekend’s plan
took the shape of stories that are significant to the Dominican Family—the
stories of Dominic and Catherine, Molly Rogers mm, Mary Ann Sammon, op, and
Dominican stories of solidarity manifested in the Hispaniola homily and in the story of Maryknoll’s Four Churchwomen. We shared and
ritualized together about how these Dominican stories and traditions are
weaving patterns into our lives today and making our shared charism visible in
the world. The Story Weaving weekend concluded with Eucharist, a shared
preaching, and a presentation to each participant of pieces of the weave we had
woven together in the course of our story-weaving weekend. (Sr. Arlene Flaherty, OP)
