SUMMARY:April 21\, 2026: A Day of Prayer\, Fasting and Advocacy
DESCRIPTION:In solidarity with the Leadership Conference of Women Religious (LCWR) recent initiative\, the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods\, Indiana\, and the Providence Community will take part in a day of prayer\, fasting and advocacy together so that our hearts may be softened while our resolve to extend love and light to all is re-energized. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJourney with us on Tuesday\, April 21: \n\n\n\nProvidence People mark this day to pray\, to fast\, and to advocate for a change of heart.  \n\n\n\nWe desire\, long for\, and work towards a renewal of human relations that puts thriving life at the center.  \n\n\n\nWe bring into our prayer this day the pain and suffering of people\, planet\, and all life forms caused by human systems that do not honor the sacred nature of all creation. In so doing we are reminded of the persistence and resilience of life itself.  \n\n\n\nSoil recovers. Oceans team with life humans cannot even see but completely depend on for sustenance. Whole communities of people are singled out for inhumane treatment\, emotional and physical assaults\, and forced into the shadows to simply survive.  \n\n\n\nAnd communities of people across this nation and beyond show compassion\, courage\, and fortitude in reaching out and being neighbor to one another in the midst of systemic ‘othering’ that supports such violence. \n\n\n\nAnd so\, let us choose to pray\, to fast\, and to advocate that our hearts may be softened while our resolve to extend love and light to all is re-energized. \n\n\n\nPRAY\n\n\n\nHoly One\,You created a universe saturated in beauty\,fashioned us from stardust as one seamlessinterdependent whole with all of creationto be treated as your Body\, your image.Our hearts are crushed\, devastated by sorrowas we witness with horror\, destruction and violence at every level.Nations are engulfed in the unrelenting tragedy of warImmigrant families are being torn apart\, deported;People across the human spectrum\, made in your image\,are being treated as throw- aways.The rich are living in luxury while the poorlack the most basic necessities.For too long we have been blatantlyunresponsive to planet Earth’s long history of physical abuse.Despite our sense of despair and hopelessness\,Holy One\, You still call us to be your Providence\,to be Your voice for justice in our daily words and actions\,to plant seeds of hope\, however small and insignificant they may seem to be..With your grace we commit to witness in word and actionthe sacredness of all creation. \n\n\n\nFAST\n\n\n\nWe invite you to consider adopting some practice this day that engages your body\, mind\, and spirit.  \n\n\n\nPerhaps you will choose to do something you don’t usually do such as spend time in nature or gazing out a window admiring nature. Perhaps you will choose to not do something like avoid the network news or your favorite TV show.  \n\n\n\nWhatever you choose\, we hope it will help raise your awareness towards the special nature of this particular day for the Providence Community. \n\n\n\nADVOCATE\n\n\n\nSign this to Tell Congress: No Unconstitutional War with Iran/American Civil Liberties Union. \n\n\n\nCall your member of Congress. Link here and express your opinion towards ending the violence inflicted on our immigrant neighbors. Or the violence of the loss of healthcare support at the expense of a massive Pentagon budget. Or the violence of the U.S.-Israel war on Iran and neighboring countries.  \n\n\n\nWrite a letter to the editor expressing that opinion.  \n\n\n\nVolunteer to help marginalized communities\, especially immigrants detained by ICE and their families.

SUMMARY:Pilgrims of Hope for Creation
DESCRIPTION:Join the Sisters of Providence on Sunday\, September 28\, for a Pilgrimage of Hope for Creation\, a spiritually transformative journey that blends prayer\, reflection and a deep commitment to caring for God’s creation. \n\n\n\nThe pilgrimage is part of the 2025 Jubilee Year celebrations\, inviting pilgrims from around the world to take part in a sacred walk of faith and ecological responsibility. \n\n\n\nAs part of the global call for ecological conversion initiated by Pope Francis in Laudato Si’\, this emphasizes the profound connection between spirituality and environmental stewardship. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPilgrims will embark on a journey that not only strengthens their faith\, but also challenges them to take concrete actions for the environment. \n\n\n\nThe pilgrimage is for everyone! While many of the sites at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods are outside and may require a good amount of walking\, we value inclusion and access and will provide alternative sacred spaces for pilgrims who may not be comfortable with the outdoor terrain. \n\n\n\nPlease dress appropriately for the weather by wearing comfortable walking shoes and make sure to bring sunscreen and a reusable water bottle. Water stations will be available for refills. \n\n\n\nMost spaces are accessible and there will be limited transportation to shuttle people who may need extra assistance. \n\n\n\nThe pilgrimage will take place at various places at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods\, Indiana. Check in time is 10-11 a.m.\, in the Foley Room at Providence Spirituality & Conference Center. Mass is at 11 a.m.\, in the Church of the Immaculate Conception. Lunch will follow in the Community Room of Providence Hall. The pilgrimage will conclude at 4:30 p.m.\, with a closing prayer beginning at 4 p.m. Pilgrims are invited to bring a sack lunch or order a light lunch prepared by our catering staff. \n\n\n\nThere is no cost to attend the pilgrimage\, but registration is required.

SUMMARY:Way of the Cross for Justice
DESCRIPTION:Persons of all faith traditions are invited to attend this year’s Way of the Cross for Justice\, scheduled for 11a.m.\, on Good Friday\, April 18. During the hour-long service\, those participating will recall Jesus’ journey to the cross while uniting His path with justice struggles we face today. \n\n\n\nThe Sisters of Providence will host the Way of the Cross for Justice Prayer from 11 a.m. to noon.\, on Good Friday\, April 18. \n\n\n\nTraditionally\, the Stations of the Cross help people of all faith traditions make a spiritual pilgrimage of prayer\, opening a space for reflection\, memory and action\, as they meditate upon the scenes of Christ’s sufferings and death. Walking the path of the Stations to commemorate the Passion of the Christ is said to have started with Saint Francis of Assisi. \n\n\n\nThere is no cost to take part in the service. Freewill offerings will be accepted to support justice efforts in the Wabash Valley.

SUMMARY:Forest Meditations
DESCRIPTION:Nature can teach us and heal us. Join us for a guided meditation based in eco-spirituality\, where you connect with the Divine through nature.  \n\n\n\nAs we wander among the trees\, you will have the opportunity to connect with yourself and listen as the forest offers you time to reflect on your life. Leave feeling grounded and calm as you re-enter the world with more clarity and peace. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe events will take place at 10:00 a.m.\, on Saturday\, Sept. 28\, Saturday\, Oct. 26 and Saturday\, Nov. 30\, at the St. Joseph’s Nature Trail at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. \n\n\n\nThe trail is a mown path through the forest.

This event may be canceled due to weather. We will walk in light rain. \n\n\n\nThere is no cost to attend\, but donations would be welcomed.
