SUMMARY:Celebrating 20 Years of Sainthood!
DESCRIPTION:Rooted in Her Legacy\, Continuing the Story\n\n\n\nTwenty years after the canonization of Mother Theodore Guerin\, we are rooted in her legacy and invited to continue her story in our own time. \n\n\n\nPersons 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. \n\n\n\nThe late Pope Benedict XVI processes to the altar during the Mass of Canonization Oct. 15\, 2006.\n\n\n\nA 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. \n\n\n\nGrounded 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. \n\n\n\nAs 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. \n\n\n\nThe pilgrimage will conclude in time to enter into Mass as one community\, followed by a shared picnic lunch that extends the time of celebration. \n\n\n\nRSVPs will be requested for the celebration. More information on the celebration will be made available soon.
