Monthly prayer with the Sisters of Providence
All single women ages 18-42 are invited to pray with the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, via Zoom.
Join the Sisters of Providence from wherever you are on the seventh day of each month at 7 p.m., EDT. The prayer sessions last approximately 45 minutes.

Sisters of Providence Vocation Director Sister Joni Luna, SP, said she hopes the monthly prayer sessions will engage those who participate.
“These prayer groups will offer women in the same peer group a space to pray and share while getting to know the Sister of Providence and some of our Sisters,” Sister Joni said.
Each month’s service will be led by a different Sister of Providence and be focused on a different topic.
For the month of October, join Sister Jeanette Lucinio, SP, who will lead a prayer on the topic of Sisters of Providence Feast Days.
Other topics and Sisters of Providence leading the monthly prayer services include:
- Tuesday, Nov. 7 – Sister Jane Iannaccone, SP, leading prayer on Thanksgiving,
- Thursday, Dec. 7 – Sister Donna Butler, SP, leading prayer on Christmas,
- Sunday, Jan. 7 – Sister Barbara Bluntzer, SP, leading prayer on Martin Luther King Jr.,
