Sister Dawn,
Thank you for your beautiful Christmas message. The Sisters of Providence have impacted my life even before I was aware of it.
My wife Sue and I will celebrate 46 yrs of marriage in January of 2023.
Sister Paula Modaff ,Sue’s older sister, I’m quite sure has had her prayers answered since
our lives are Blessed in so many ways.
My belief is solidified that we are to Hold Onto Providence Everyday. ( H O P E ).
Blest Wishes for Christmas and always,
Tom Benoit
So beautiful Sister. We are so thankful for you all and your dedication to our Lord Jesus. ❤️
