...the possibility of attending high school at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. After a vocation presentation in the eighth grade, my friend and I decided to tell Sister Marie Kevin Tighe, our eighth grade teacher, that we wanted to go to high school at St. Mary-of-the-Woods.

...confused than before her illness. “Some days she’s up and out of her room and some days she’s in bed all day. It’s up and down,” Sister Betty said. How to live to 100 Our 105-year-old COVID-19 survivor, Sister Marceline Mattingly in February, continues to regain her strength.

Gospel: John 20:19-31 In the evening of that first day of the week, when the doors were locked, where the disciples were, for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them, “Peace be with you.” When he had said this, he showed them his hands and his side.

But how to narrow all the possibilities into one meaningful prayer and one meaningful practice that will carry me through the days of Lent? This will take more quiet, more prayer, some conversation with a soul mate. I promise I won’t cop out. Before Ash Wednesday (the day you are reading this), I will take the time to...

Being Providence in a world in need: Sister Dawn’s reflection to new Providence Associates
Father Dan Hopcus and General Superior Sister Dawn Tomaszewski process in at the Providence Associate rite of commitment this past Saturday. Back in the day, each Sister of Providence was assigned a home superior—someone from the community’s council that a sister would see annually or go to for special help or advice at any time. This is not unlike our current general officer liaison relationships. But often a sister would say of that home superior that she belonged to her....

On Saturday nights, it was his habit to go across the river to Kentucky to dances. Ellis Gray...

On Saturday, Aug. 8, I was walking through the cemetery. Recalling that Aug. 14, will be the first anniversary of Sister Camille’s death, the tears started to run down my face.
