Jubilee Video Series
This year marks our 100th Anniversary of arriving from Poland to the USA. To celebrate this year, we will be publishing monthly videos on every 25th of each month to share our story and what makes us who we are. We hope that through these segments, viewers might come to know us a little bit more, and share in our joy and celebration of the wonders the Lord has wrought for us these past 100 years. God bless you!
For our second segment, we learn about Venerable Mother Kolumba Bialecka and her resilience and virtue in founding the Congregation of the Sisters of St. Dominic.
The sisters “should have no other aim than to work sincerely, even with great difficulty, to spread the Kingdom of God in souls.”
- Mother Kolumba Bialecka
