Introduction

A growing international movement of young adults associating themselves with the Dominican charism is cause for hope! Today we hear from the leader of that movement in the US, Adrian Dominican Sister Katherine Frazier, about how the Dominican Youth Movement is shaping Dominican life in the United States and the world.
