A safe home community for those who lost everything
“I wanted to work with God’s working poor, who lost all of their belongings during the hurricane. They were living in broken down trailers with two or three families in each,” Sister Cathy Buster said. The end result was the new community in Arcadia, Florida. Casa San Juan Bosco I is a 53-home complex for migrant farmworkers.

Sister Caroline Hatch

Remembering Sister Marie Brendan Harvey
Many will also remember Sister Marie Brendan’s voice

In memory of …
'She loved life, she loved teaching, she loved the Sisters of Providence, and she loved nature. But perhaps most of all, she loved to fish with her good friend, Sister Mary Pat Peacock.'

Sister Marie Brendan Harvey
"Gifted with an unusually beautiful singing voice, Mary Therese's professional career was quickly determined and she was given over to the ministrations of the finest music teachers in the order ..."

Remembering Sisters Marilyn Therese Lipps and Concetta Banez
'She seized challenges and new opportunities with a tenacity that sometimes inspired others and at other times, exasperated them'
