Dominican “Daisies” In Bloom at SHU
“The memory of Mother Augustine Neuhierl lived on in the prophetic words spoken to the professed
nuns gathered around her bedside during her last hours on this earth. She told them of the ‘daisy field,’ her
vision of a peninsula in the West dotted white with Dominican foundations; and she reminded them that,
though they were contemplatives, their active work would take them into the schools awaiting them.”
