The Dominican Secular Institute of Orleans is a community of women living the evangelical counsels in the midst of the world. We live in our secular environments and pursue our vocation in daily life. In accordance with the teaching of St Dominic, we strive to proclaim Christ "to everyone, always and in every way, and when it is no longer possible otherwise, even in words". We want our lives to be a clear sign of God's presence in the world to others, but without revealing that we have fully consecrated our lives to God through the vows of chastity, poverty and obedience.
On September 28, the fourth member of our Haitian group made her final vows.
Due to the very difficult political situation in Haiti, contact with them has recently been limited only to emails. Therefore, we were unable to participate in the ceremony.
Let us pray for peace for Haiti and the whole world.
