On March 9th, the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Blauvelt and Dominican Sisters of Sparkill hosted a Catholic Sisters Week live conversation about how we can open our hearts to the world, find common ground with others, as well as how Pope Francis' Fratelli Tutti can help us build a culture of peace and dialogue as one human family.This discussion was moderated by Sr. Jeanne Shary, OP, of Sparkill, this event and featured panelists: Sisters Carol Lehmkuhl, OP, of Sparkill, and Barbara McEneany, OP, of Blauvelt.

Throughout the pandemic, several of the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Blauvelt, New York, have often been asked, “How has faith shaped your response to the challenges of living with COVID-19?”This question sparked us to host a Catholic Sisters Week Virtual Discussion: Living Through COVID with Faith & Hope.Moderated by Sr. Terry Rickard, President and Executive Director of RENEW International, discussion participants will hear from Sisters Mary Flood, Maggie McDermott, and Mary Eileen O'Brien on how they have used their faith and hope in their ministries to respond to the challenges of the pandemic.· As Executive Director of the Tolentine Zeiser Community Life Center, Sr. Maggie's ministry impacts individuals in need throughout the Bronx as her organization provides affordable child care and homeless, HIV/AIDS, and immigrant services.· Throughout the pandemic, Sr. Mary's ministry as a Physician and Associate Professor of Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center, and a Leadership Team member for the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Blauvelt, has been instrumental in developing protocols at the Motherhouse to ensure safe practices were in place to protect sisters and staff, including those who are high-risk.· In her ministry, Sr. Mary Eileen, the President of Dominican College, has worked endlessly with administrators to develop safety and health guidelines for the school, in consideration of all its aspects and collaboration with all its constituents.Please note that this event took place on March 4, 2021, and was originally broadcasted through Zoom.
