Mary Ann Simpson: “Strong, loving, and well-educated women are hard to find”

This Rooted for Tomorrow story was contributed by Mary Ann Simpson for the 175th anniversary of the Sisters of Providence arriving in Indiana.

I remain so very grateful for the education as well as for the spiritual and moral formation that the sisters at Immaculata provided. Strong, loving, and well-educated woman are hard to find, and I was blessed with a building full of them.
