Oct 15, 2017: “Thank you EVERYONE who turned out today to help paint shoes,” said Jarek Kozal. “I was so happy to see so many Sisters who came right around 12:45 PM to help us complete our project. We painted over 100 pair of shoes. I also want to extend a special thank you to all who prayed with me to close our event. I felt so united with the souls of the countless women who lost their lives to violence and are now among the Communion of the Saints. Let us now go forward and fight on behalf of the many women who still suffer today!”
Oct 21, 2017: “Thank you Elina Chauvet for helping us give hope to others. We fight the good fight! We stand up for justice! We acknowledge the violence against women and girls that exists in our society, and we publicly take a stance against it! We give thanks to the God of Love and Peace for giving us the courage to rise up in solidarity with all women and girls who have suffered so much at the hands of others. May we as Dominican Associates and Sisters continue to give voice to the voiceless and open our arms in loving compassion to those who suffer.” — Jarek Kozal
