Reunited joyfully: Annual meeting 2022

The Providence Community came together for the Sisters of Providence Annual Meeting from June 26-29, 2022. Providence Associates joined on Sunday and Monday to discuss justice initiatives for the coming year. It was so wonderful to be together again! We enjoyed our time of learning, praying, visiting and planning.
