Providence Associate Pat Ruck of Ranch Mission Viejo, California, first met the Sisters of Providence in the 1960s through her husband’s sister, Sister Mary Lou Ruck. Pat made her first commitment as a Providence Associate in 2008. “My commitment of ongoing study, prayer and actions of love, mercy and justice are woven as I journey with Sisters of Providence and Providence Associates. We come together to share the energy, power and grace of Providence in our lives and our world,” Pat said.

Gathering celebrates hidden women from scripture

Selected readings and songs of praise honored our foremothers in faith who were witnesses, leaders, deacons, prophetesses, theologians: holy women of our past lineage whose stories we never hear read in our church.
