Providence Community spring retreat 2023
The Providence Community of Sisters of Providence and Providence Associates focused on friendship with God and relished in friendship with one another at their spring retreat the weekend of March 10-12. Community members and friends came from near and far, including via Livestream, seeking to re-center and be nourished, to grow in community and in spirituality. And we reflected, enjoyed community time and grew in relationship with God and one another.

How wonderful! It lifts my spirits and inspires me to meditate on these photos!
I just had a “smile party” looking at all these photos on the screen! Thank you Providence Community who gathered at the Woods on March 10-12. Thanks, Amy Miranda, PA, for capturing these moments and sharing them.
