SINSINAWA, Wis.—The Sinsinawa Dominican Congregation recently approved a corporate stance in recognition of climate change and is committed to improving our relationship with Earth.
This corporate stance was written by the Dominican Sisters in Committed Collaboration (OPSCC). Therefore, the stance is introduced by saying, “We, the Dominican Sisters in Committed Collaboration, in partnership with the Dominican Sisters of Sinsinawa.” Sinsinawa Dominicans believed that signing onto an already-strong stance with OPSCC will strengthen their own commitment and witness to the kind of interdependence and collaboration that is necessary if we are to respond well to climate change. As part of their partnership, the OPSCC and Sinsinawa have agreed to work collaboratively on educational programs around climate change for Dominican congregations.

Five Dominican Sisters of Peace, Imelda Schmidt and Roserita Weber from Kansas, Mary Vuong from Texas, and Barbara Kane and Doris Regan from Ohio, recently returned from El Paso, TX, where they volunteered for two weeks at the Pastoral Center at the Diocese of El Paso under the direction of Annunciation House, a faith-based non-profit whose volunteers seek to live the Good News of the Gospel.
