Associating with loving Provident God not just for adults

By Sister Dawn Tomaszewski | November 12, 2013 |

He can’t have missed how genuinely excited people seem to be about being Associates, about being part of something bigger than themselves, about knowing that the unity they share with the Sisters of Providence and other Associates through this relationship enables them to be better people and to have an impact on life as they know it.
