Winter 2016 - St. Dominic Village

“Caring for Our Elders with the Compassion of Christ”
A Message from Amy...
Happy New Year! I am looking forward to a successful and prosperous 2016 here at St. Dominic
Village. I want to thank all of our donors that so generously gave to us during 2015, and especially
during our End of Year Campaign to help renovate Warren Chapel. Warren Chapel is truly the heart of
our community and it deserves a much needed facelift. Check back in the months to come to see what
we were able to do with the funds that were raised! I also want to extend a special “Thank You” to all
of our Patron Corps members. These are individuals who at a minimum donate $1,000.00 annually to
St. Dominic Village. Roger and Carole Sahni were our Patron Corp Chairs last year and I am looking
forward to another successful year under their leadership. These are the funds that allow St. Dominic
Village to do some amazing things that we otherwise could not do.
With our new year, St. Dominic Village will see much growth and changes on campus. While it is of course important to
honor and respect all of the rich history that makes St. Dominic Village truly unique, it is exciting to see change in our
community. Two examples of this change are the rebranding of our Mission Statement and Core Values. The Board of
Directors, staff and a group of Residents dedicated time to meet and share with HandBuilt Brands Advertising Agency to
help us streamline and refresh our Mission Statement and Core Values. During these meetings we discussed what makes
St. Dominic Village unique and what our residents love about living here. Our Mission embodies what we as a community strive to do each and every day, that is “Caring for Our Elders with the Compassion of Christ”. Our Core Values have
been updated to Love, Quality Care, Individuality and Christ-Like. As you read through the newsletter you will see the
new Core Values and how they are surrounded by the Fruits of the Holy Spirit. Both of these items will be something that
you will see when on campus, and we believe that it helps keep us focused on the Mission and Ministry of St Dominic
Village.
The Board of Directors, along with staff, are working on putting the five year Strategic Plan into effect. The Board spent
the last year focusing on the current state of SDV and where we, along with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston, want
it to go. Through our committees, we are excited about some of the plans that we are putting into place, and I’m excited
to keep you updated as some of our plans become a reality.
Amy Shields
My door is always open and I love to hear from our residents, families and staff so
please stop by and see me anytime.

St. Dominic Village kicks off the New Year with a new Mission
Statement and Core Values!
by: Amy Shields, Chief Executive Officer/LNFA
“Caring for Our Elders with the Compassion of Christ”
The Mission Statement and Core Values of an
organization are of significant importance. They not only
define your organization but more importantly they tell
the community what it is that you do. Our previous
Mission Statement and Core Values were very long and
were not something that could be remembered or recited
by our residents and staff.
Over the last several months St. Dominic Village, worked
with Hand Built Brands (a Marketing Consultancy), to
help us redefine and streamline both our Mission and
Core Values. This company met with the Board of
Directors, staff and a group of residents to really get a
feel for St. Dominic Village and what it is that we do and
how best to represent this to the community.
After much thought and exchanging of ideas and concepts, what was finally agreed upon
is what you see here;our mission is now, “Caring for Our Elders with the Compassion of
Christ”. It is a statement that we have been using for years, and truly is at the heart of
what we do.
Our new Core Values are now Love, Quality Care, Individuality and Christ Like. These are
the qualities that we as an organization strive for our employees to show our residents.
These Core Values are surrounded by the fruits of the Holy Spirit. I hope these speak to
you as they did to everyone who was involved in the rebranding process. We are truly
moving in the right direction and both our new Mission Statement and Core Values help
lead us each and everyday.

The Origins of the Dominican Order
by: Sr. Carol Mayes, O.P.
St. Dominic Village, Board Member
It is often said that St. Dominic did not “found” an order as much as he “befriended”
an order. This was considered true because the first Dominicans were the women who
were followers of Dominic and lived a cloistered life at Prouille, France. After gathering
the women, men became his followers and the Dominican Order
continued to grow.
All Dominicans are part of the Order of Preachers.
That is why Dominicans identify themselves with the
initials “O.P.” after their names. Therefore, all
Dominicans are called to preach God’s word, but do so
in different ways.
Great men and women have joined the Dominicans over
the years.
St. Catherine, a lay woman, was considered a “mystic in
the marketplace”. She spent her life caring for others
and in deep prayer. She also was in
communication with several popes and urged Pope
Gregory XI to return to Rome from Avignon and bring
unity back to the church. She preached with her good
works and with her letter writing.
St. Fra Angelico was a magnificent artist who preached with his
painting.
St. Martin de Porres, another Dominican, was a lay brother who spent his life caring for
the poor. He preached with his kindness and care for the less fortunate.
Though Dominic often spent all night in prayer and frequently wept for the pain of the
world, he was very accepting of others and never demanded strict observance of rules.
The Dominicans celebrated their 800 Year Jubilee this year on November 7th 2015. It
is a special time to thank God for the gift of Dominic and his vision.

Recognizing Our Veterans
On Wednesday, November 11, 2015, as we do every
year, we recognized and paid homage to our men and
women who have served and/or currently serve in the
military.
We welcomed special guests, recited songs and poems
of patriotism and enjoyed fellowship and food.
We are home to several men and women who have
served in the armed services. We humbly thank you for
your service.

Nursing Station 1 Gets Revamped!
Nursing Station 1 has completed its initial phase of the new
face lift, and we are excited about the results.
Work on Station 1 kicked off on December 7th and was
completed by December 20th.
The new nursing station will certainly make our daily
functions more efficient and convenient. New computers
have been installed and the medication and treatment rooms
were also renovated during the process.

Stations of the Cross
The Stations of the Cross is a Lenten devotion that offers witness to Jesus’ Passion and Death.
At each station we use our senses and our imagination to reflect prayerfully upon Jesus’
suffering, death, and resurrection and reflect on Christ’s love for us.
It is a powerful way to contemplate, and enter into, the mystery of Jesus’ gift of
himself to us.
From the earliest of days, followers of Jesus told the story of his passion, death and
resurrection. When pilgrims came to see Jerusalem, they were anxious to see the
sites where Jesus was. These sites become important holy connections with Jesus.
Eventually, following in the footsteps of the Lord, along the way of the cross, became a part of
the pilgrimage visit. The stations, as we know them today, came about when it was no longer
easy or even possible to visit the holy sites. In the 1500’s, villages all over Europe started
creating “replicas” of the way of the cross, with small shrines commemorating the places along
the route in Jerusalem. Eventually, these shrines became the set of 14 stations we now know
and they have been placed in almost every Catholic Church in the world.

Christmas at the Village
We love the holidays here at St. Dominic Village. Christmas was celebrated in a big way
around the Village. Our two Open Houses were a big success with lots
of family, friends and visitors enjoying food, fun and fellowship with our
residents. The Ambassadors, a live band, performed at both
parties held on December 10th and December 14th. Residents and
guests enjoyed a medley of classic oldie but goodies, Christmas tunes
and big band jazz tunes of the 1940’s.
The following week our residents were surprised by a visit from Old
St. Nick himself. He visited with each resident and brought presents for
all.
Our Lady of Guadalupe Celebration at
St. Dominic Village
On December 11th, St. Dominic Village and the
St. Dominic Chancery joined to celebrate the feast of Our Lady of
Guadalupe. Residents and staff gathered in the Charlotte Hall
Social Area to enjoy a festive, cermonial dance, as well as food
and fellowship in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
