A Reflection for a Golden Jubilee
This Jubilee is as much about looking forward as it is about looking back.

A reflection for first vows
What we make of Saint Mother Theodore’s legacy will be our legacy – will we follow and not look back?

This Memorial Day: Take time to Remember
This Memorial Day, I hope you will remember some hero or heroine of your own, an obscure apostle, perhaps.

The ever-expanding community of Providence
This has had profound impact on our concept of community. We now embrace an understanding of Providence — of God’s design and desire for all of us — which helps us know that we are united with all that exists. That everything is connected.

Graduation Day!
Education has always been at the heart of the mission of the Sisters of Providence – whether it be education of ourselves or others

The hope of Easter is planted deep in our hearts
May the convergence of spring and Easter restore your soul

Looking back on Good Friday
Some life lessons were learned in the quiet of St. Monica Church

What is your word for 2019?
I want to pass on the gift of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods

Who do you want to be now?
I would like to offer hospitality to those seeking asylum in our country. I would like to provide shelter for the innocent in war-torn places and in the violent places in our own U.S. cities. I would like to be a better keeper of the planet.

It is toward Love incarnate that we move during this Advent Season
