A ME S S AGE FROM THE PRIORESS Dear Friends, I am delighted to present this 2016 Annual Donor Report which highlights exciting news of the past year and some energizing plans for the future. More importantly, this report gives the Sisters of St. Dominic and me the opportunity to express, in a public way, our heartfelt gratitude to our generous donors. This past year, more than 5,000 donors contributed gifts to the Congregation totaling more than $1,000,000. While we are so grateful to our longtime supporters, we are equally delighted to welcome 714 first-time donors. In addition, words cannot express our sincere gratitude to our volunteers who contributed countless hours of service in helping to move our fundraising and friend-raising efforts. We give thanks for all the ways we experience the wonders of God’s love at work in each of you. Thank you for your dedication and generous support of all our Sisters and their mission to preach the Word of God in whatever way they are called to do so. Know that you and your families are and always will be remembered in our daily prayers. With deep gratitude and prayer, Sister Mary Pat Neylon, OP Prioress 1 | 2 0 1 5 - 2 0 1 6 A N N UA L R E P O RT
