thank you note from a child

November 10, 2023, Henderson, Nevada – As we approach Thanksgiving, we can learn about gratitude from the example of Catholic school students who wrote creative thank-you notes in response to the generosity of the Dignity Health-St. Rose Dominican Hospitals community. Hospital staff donated school supplies to the children at nearby Sister Robert Joseph Bailey Elementary School.

In a Ministry Minute video, Tyler Whipkey, Vice President of Mission Integration for St. Rose, reminded employees of their donations to the school supply fund – and showcased the thank-you notes the children had created with some of the school supplies they received. 

The school was named for the Adrian Dominican Sister Robert Joseph Bailey, OP, who served for 37 years at St. Rose Dominican Hospitals and started outreach programs that provide medical and dental care to children in need, as well as volunteers to spend one-on-one reading time with the children.

October 20, 2023, Adrian, Michigan – Halfway around the world from the war and turmoil in Israel and Gaza, Adrian Dominican Sisters and representatives of Siena Heights University gathered on October 17, 2023, for a Rosary prayer service for the suffering people of the Holy Land.

The General Council of the Adrian Dominican Sisters issued a statement that morning, supporting the call for prayer from the churches in Jerusalem and Pope Francis and inviting the public to this time of prayer.

“Any time there is the kind of war and division and conflict that exists in the world right now in such stark terms in the Middle East, it calls on all of us people of faith to prayer,” Sister Elise D. García, OP, Prioress of the Adrian Dominican Congregation, said during an interview with WTOL-TV News, based in Toledo, Ohio. 

“We all live busy lives, and our students, our faculty, our administration – we’ve got many things going on,” said Douglas Palmer, PhD, President of Siena Heights University. “But I think every time we call a pause and reflect in prayer, I think that has power.”
