On October 31, 2022, we established our second Community of Daughters of Holy Mary of the Heart of Jesus in the United States, in Columbus, Ohio. Our Community of Sisters resides in Westerville, close to St. Paul the Apostle Catholic Church and School, where we teach and serve in Campus and Youth Ministry.
We also offer our monthly DOYMAR Prayer Movement Encounters for girls, adolescents and young women to guide them in their lives of prayer and discipleship.
Our Apostolate includes
“Our main apostolate consists of the witness of our consecrated life… and our apostolic activity always ought to flow from an intimate union with God, and ought to confirm and foster it ”.
