Join the sisters as they recognize their heritage and honor the day Saint Mother Theodore Guerin – foundress of the Sisters of Providence – and her five companions first set foot upon the soil at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, on October 22, 1840, to educate young women in the Indiana wilderness.
Eventually, the Sisters of Providence founded Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College and ministered in many areas across the country.
