In September 2012, Fr. Bruno Cadore (master of the Dominican Order) met with the prioresses of the North American monasteries of Dominican nuns at the motherhouse of the Dominican Sisters of Springfield, Illinois. Fr. Bruno inspired the nuns to actively engage with one another in planning for the future. In May, 10 sisters from the Elmira, New York, community (Monastery of Mary the Queen) boarded an airplane (some for the first time) and flew across the country for a weeklong visit to discern future possibilities with the Menlo Park, California community (Corpus Christi Monastery). On the Feast of the Visitation, the Elmira and Menlo Park nuns visited the Dominican Sisters of Mission San Jose in Fremont, California. Read more about this visit
