Meet Emily TeKolste, new Sisters of Providence postulant
The Sisters of Providence are excited to welcome Emily TeKolste of Carmel, Indiana, as the newest postulant to join the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. On Wednesday, September 7, 2016, she officially entered the Congregation during a meaningful tradition in which she knocked on the door of Providence Hall to seek entrance. There she was greeted by the Sisters of Providence leadership and formation community members who prayed with her and welcomed her among them.
Welcome Emily! We wish you many joy-filled years as a Sisters of Providence.
