SPECIAL EVENTS UPDATE
Our Annual Autumn Evening
On October 27, 2015, our Dominican Autumn Evening honored
Sisters Eileen Corcoran and Mary Jane Rolston, along with
Kimon and Thomas Passios of Pinnacle Associates. The Crest
Hollow Country Club lent itself to a very comfortable, relaxing
atmosphere where old friendships were rekindled and new
friendships formed. Guests enjoyed a festive evening complete
with silent auctions and 50/50 raffles raising almost $140,000
for the Sister’s Ministry Support Fund.
The Congregation’s Ministry Support Fund, was established to
assist ministries in need of additional funding. Approximately
$300,000 is distributed annually. Our ministries reach the
most frail and vulnerable members of the human family—the
elderly, the uneducated, the poor and women and children—
and include St. Agnes Academic High School, College Point;
Dominican Village, Amityville; Opening Word in Wyandanch,
Amityville and Huntington Station; and North Fork Spanish
Apostolate, Riverhead, to name a few.
The Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville are blessed with many
generous benefactors and friends, and a long legacy of extraordinary Sisters.
Irish Night 2016
Irish Night 2016 raised over $55,000. This was possible with
the help of so many who helped sell chance books in parishes,
sought monetary donations and gift certificates, donated handmade items and other gift items for raffle baskets. Over 520 of
our dearest friends and family enjoyed a grand evening filled
with good food, wonderful entertainment, dancing and great
prizes.
