Are you feeling grief or despair over the state of the world? Are you feeling powerless and wondering what you can do? The Sisters of Providence invite you into our mission to create a more just and hope-filled world.

Join us in an experience of finding hope and your own powerful potential in uncertain times. The weekend or day retreat will provide opportunities for you to cultivate hope through time in nature, creative expression, contemplation, community, sacred spaces, ritual and talks.
