The 2025 Service Immersion experience in Chicago, Illinois was a great success according to attendees! The Dominican Vocations Collaboration Group hosted 8 discerners and young women June 17th-21st. Together they shared community, prayer, ministry, and study as they assisted at several Chicago-area nonprofits and engaged in Juneteenth activities hosted by DuSable Museum of African American History. Please pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide these young women in their discernment. Kudos to the Vocations Collaboration Team who are already planning the second annual service immersion!
