Y-DOSA Summit August 4-6, 2016

The annual Young Daughters of Saint Angela Summit, which brings together girls from the Y-DOSA chapters in Kansas and Whitesville, Ky., was Aug. 4-6, 2016, on the grounds of the Ursuline Sisters of Mount Saint Joseph.
Eleven girls and five adults prayed together, worked and played with the sisters and enjoyed each other’s friendship during their time together. Below are some photos from their full day of activities Aug. 5.
