Great photos!! Thanks for sharing. Many blessings on the new leadership team.
Congratulations! Best wishes. May God guide your comings and goings.
Congratulations to the new leadership team for the Sisters of Providence. I knew more of the individuals of the last team and wish I knew more about the individuals of this team. Is there a source where we can read about these women? It would be helpful to know their background and experience. As a Candidate for being a Providence Associate, my goal is to be informed.
As a former Sister of Providence, I believe in this Congregation of freethinking religious!
