Growing together spiritually: Providence Associate spring retreat
The Providence Community of Providence Associates, Sisters of Providence and friends gathered the weekend of March 15-17 for the Providence Community spring retreat. Participants gathered both in person at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods and virtually via Zoom. Sisters of Providence Chaplain Father Terry Johnson led the retreat on our place in the universe and how we find God within it. It was a weekend of connecting with community, communing with nature, stretching our spiritual understandings and growing closer to God. Enjoy these photos from our meaningful weekend.























We invite you to join our community as a Providence Associate. Apply by June 30 to start the process this year. ProvidenceAssociates.org
