Welcome to our 2023 Providence Associates
We welcomed 20 new Providence Associates to our Providence Community on Saturday, Oct. 21, in the Church of the Immaculate Conception at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. We are blessed that these 20 individuals answered a call by God to enter more deeply into our community and into a mission of love, mercy and justice in their daily lives. Enjoy these photos of the Rite of First Commitment ceremony.
