Break boundaries and create hope with us!
Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods
A community of vowed Catholic women religious, we joyfully live out the radical Gospel message of love, mercy and justice in today’s world. Inspired by our foundress Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, we are passionate about our lives of prayer, education, service and advocacy. We dedicate ourselves to helping those who might otherwise be forgotten.
“I would like to believe that we are a community that tries to practice what activist Valerie Kaur (Coure) calls ‘Revolutionary Love‘ — the choice to leave no one outside our circle of care. It is a community whose members believe that an act of love can change everything. Kaur says this kind of love is the call of our times. This kind of love is the call of Jesus the Christ at all times.”
