Why is St. Catherine of Siena important to Racine Dominicans?
St. Catherine who lived from 1347-1380 was a risk-taker. She is recognized as a “Doctor of the Church” who worked as a negotiator to mend differences in the Church. She was a mystic whose constant conversation with God permeated her relationships and her ministry. Catherine of Siena preached a gospel of mercy in her day and was intent on bringing a message of hope and courage to those who suffered. She continues to be a dynamic model for living Dominican life. Racine Dominicans seek to preach the message she proclaimed in this time and age. 6. Who are Racine Dominican Associates?
