Still, 2021 was also marked by bright spots as people throughout the world struggled to bring goodness to the world.

Sister Maryetta Churches, OP, Incorporates Art into Daily Prayer

Sister Maryetta Churches, OP, has found a unique and comforting way to get through not only the stresses of the COVID-19 pandemic, but also the adjustments to living at the Adrian Dominican Sisters’ Motherhouse after years of ministering at St. Mary Magdalen Parish in Brighton, Michigan. During her daily prayer, she creates artwork in a journal to complement her reflection of the day.
