Sister Spotlight:
Sr. Kathleen Sullivan, OP
To say the last five months have been challenging for Sr. Kathleen Sullivan, OP, would be an understatement. As Chancellor for External Affairs for Dominican College, Sr. Kathleen has worked endlessly with fellow administrators to develop reopening plans for the school. Despite the potential challenges that Dominican College may face in the months to come, her view on her ministry has broadened in realizing how important it is to place an outlook “on the future of our planet, in all its aspects, on our worldwide agenda.”

Associate Spotlight:
Dale Coski, OPA
The charism of the Dominican Sisters of Peace is lived out in many ways by the Congregation’s nearly 650 Associates. Associate Dale Coski, of Denver, CO, was drawn to the Dominican Sisters of Peace by the love and lightheartedness of the Sisters who embraced her after she was struck by a car in the line of duty as a police officer. That accident left her with quadriplegia. “It is important for me to support the work of the Sisters and to support the Sisters who are retired because they accepted me and showed me unconditional love,” Coski said. “When I contribute to the community, it’s a way of keeping a connection to the Sisters and the good work that they’re doing. Their examples have encouraged, inspired, and influenced me to work on justice issues.”
