Working as a member of the Council is truly a gift because I can interact and connect with our Sisters in a different way than I had before.  As a Council, we are able to serve the Sisters by being the support they need in health, wellness and also their spiritual growth.  It is a blessed journey to walk with each of our Sisters.

Sister Celeste Marie Botello, O.P.

Being a member of the Congregational Leadership Team at the beginning was a bit of a challenge because of my limitation with language and knowing the culture. However, it also has been a blessing, a privilege, and an honor to walk this journey TOGETHER with all the Sisters, sharing our stories, challenges, and hopes. It has been a service that involves much learning and growing, mutual accompaniment and love.

Sister Verónica Esparza Ramírez, O.P.

Being on the Council is a blessing and a tremendous, shared responsibility that invites me to listen attentively, to hold the needs of our sisters with tenderness, and to trust in the Spirit who continually guides us as one Congregation.

Sister Angelica Velez, O.P.

Being on the Council, I get to know and serve our Sisters in the US and Mexico in a very different capacity as well as deepen our relationship with our wider Dominican family and the Church. I am humbled and privileged to be in leadership at this time.

Sister Mary Yun, O.P.

Being a member of the Congregational Leadership team is truly a graced experience in living out a call to service. It is life-giving and it provides a unique way of being connected to all the Sisters, and to the mission of the Congregation. It is humbling and a privilege to walk our life-long faith journey together.
