BLAUVELT, NY – The Sisters of Saint Dominic of Blauvelt, New York, will be hosting a “Living Through COVID with Faith & Hope” Virtual Discussion for Catholic Sisters Week on March 4th at 3 PM EST.

 

Sr. Terry Rickard, President and Executive Director of RENEW International will be moderating the discussion, while event participants will hear from Sisters Mary Flood, Maggie McDermott, and Mary Eileen O’Brien on how they have used their faith and hope in their ministries to respond to the challenges of the pandemic.

· As Executive Director of the Tolentine Zeiser Community Life Center, Sr. Maggie’s ministry impacts individuals in need throughout the Bronx as her organization provides affordable child care and homeless, HIV/AIDS, and immigrant services.
· Throughout the pandemic, Sr. Mary’s ministry as a Physician and Associate Professor of Medicine at New York-Presbyterian Hospital, Columbia University Medical Center, and a Leadership Team member for the Sisters of Saint Dominic of Blauvelt, has been instrumental in developing protocols at the Motherhouse to ensure safe practices were in place to protect sisters and staff, including those who are high-risk.
· In her ministry, Sr. Mary Eileen, the President of Dominican College, has worked endlessly with administrators to develop safety and health guidelines for the school, in consideration of all its aspects and collaboration with all its constituents.
