Find greater meaning, community as a Providence Associate

If you are looking for spiritual enrichment, support, a community or a sense of mission, God may be nudging you to become a Providence Associate of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana.

Applications are being accepted for those considering being a Providence Associate in the coming year until June 30.

Providence Associates are people of faith, ages 18 years and older, who share their own unique gifts and talents with others while walking with the Sisters of Providence.

The Providence Associate relationship with the Sisters of Providence began in 2007. Currently, there are more than 300 Providence Associates in the United States and Taiwan.

Accepted applicants spend a year meeting one-on-one on a regular basis with a Sister of Providence or another Providence Associate companion. During the meetings, the candidates and their companions learn and share about Providence Spirituality.

Accepted candidates attend an orientation at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods in November. Following the orientation, the candidate and companion usually meet once a month – in-person, virtually or by phone – for the coming year.

Are you being called to create a more just and hope-filled world with the Sisters of Providence? Contact Director Debbie Dillow at 317-250-3294 or ddillow@spsmw.org to request an application. In addition, learn more or request an application online.
