Rooted in Her Legacy, Continuing the Story

Twenty years after the canonization of Mother Theodore Guerin, we are rooted in her legacy and invited to continue her story in our own time.

Persons of all faith traditions are invited to join the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, for a communal pilgrimage marking the 20th anniversary of the canonization of Mother Theodore Guerin, on Sunday, October 11.

A pilgrimage is scheduled for 9:30-10:30 a.m., with Mass set for 11 a.m., in the Church of the Immaculate Conception at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.

Grounded in the theme “Rooted in Her Legacy; Continuing the Story,” this prayerful journey invites all to reflect on how her life of faith, courage and love continues to unfold today.

As all walk together, all will consider how her canonization is not only a moment to remember, but an invitation to carry her spirit forward in their own lives.

The pilgrimage will conclude in time to enter into Mass as one community, followed by a shared picnic lunch that extends the time of celebration.

RSVPs will be requested for the celebration. More information on the celebration will be made available soon.
