Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist

Yesterday two sisters from the Dominican convent in Ann Arbor, MI came to the Newman Center for a dinner and talk. We went to Confession and Mass, then had dinner with the sisters (cooked by Fr. Andrew) and talked with them. Then one of the sisters, Sr. Joseph Andrew, gave a talk on what it means to be a hero. It was a really enjoyable evening!
The Dominican Sisters of Mary, Mother of the Eucharist have a similar apostolate to the Nashville Dominicans, whom you may remember from last summer's nun run. It was a lot of fun meeting them and learning about their life teaching in schools all over the country. Sr. Joseph Andrew was a lovely southern lady who reminded me a bit of my grandma, and she gave a wonderful talk. The pure joy on her face and Sr. Irenaeus's face no longer surprised me, having met enough sisters to know how joyful they are!
