S. Karen Lademann honored with Trinity Award!
How proud are we of our S. Karen Lademann who was honored on April 9 as one of three recipients of the first annual Trinity Award! The TRINITY HUMAN SERVICES CORPORATION was founded in 1979 in our beloved Most Holy Trinity Parish on Montrose Ave. in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Karen has served as the President of the Board and has been a faithful witness to the people of that neighborhood for several years. As one guest commented: "S. Karen is a wonderful advocate for the people of Trinity parish." May your preaching continue, S. Karen!
Visit this website to hear S. Mary Pat Neylon's grateful acceptance speech when the Nassau Knights of Columbus donated $25,000 to the Sisters of St. Dominic of Amityville for the good work they have done -- the impact they have made on Long Island and its people. THANKS ALL AROUND!

In these polarized times, a group of Sisters published a book called, "However Long the Night." It tells of a time -- 2009 to 2015 -- when the Vatican Office investigated the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, an organization that boasts 60,000 Catholic Sisters.
It was a challenging and hurtful time for Sisters, which became a sacred time. This is the story of those women who wanted to share those experiences -- including our own Sister of St. Dominic, Mary Hughes, OP. The lessons they learned were brought to light through their prayerful and hope-filled traditions. These practices can serve as a light to anyone in conflict today. Available on Amazon.
