First vows: Sister Arrianne’s journey
...my profession of First Vows was not about how I should feel or what I should do or say on that day but rather about how I live these vows on the day after and then the day after that and so on. If a stranger met me on the street would they know that I am a Sister of Providence? Would my actions and words emanate the commitment I have made this day? Would they sense that I have...

A Reflection for the 2024 Foundation Day Mass
The readings that were just proclaimed are beautiful reminders of what is foundational to our lives and the life of this Providence Community as we celebrate this 184th Foundation Day.

Reflections for Foundation Day 2021
The timing of this General Chapter to coincide with our 181st Foundation Day seems quite providential, doesn’t it? To be together again as a community on this day after the long COVID-induced hiatus feels like a life-giving vaccine in and of itself.

...us gathered here this morning and those of you who might join us later via live stream as we mark this 178th anniversary of that little scene in the forest.

Does this symbol have meaning for us today? Should this symbol have meaning for us today? Too...

...have so shaped our beloved community—Sisters St. Theodore, Basilide, St. Vincent Ferrer, Mary Liguori, Mary Xavier and Olympiade. What might the Holy Spirit reveal to us today about this well-worn and well-loved story so that we can see this foundation and perhaps our own role in its continuing refoundation in new lights? Mother Theodore’s “Journals and Letters” have provided us a powerful first-person account of that moment of foundation. But today, I have asked some other characters in that foundation...

...the Indy 500,” Sister Barbara said. “From a very early age, our dad would take my brother and me to qualification days. Dad worked at Indiana Bell Telephone and was one of the supervisors in charge of communications in and around the track. “Those early days of being at the track created fond memories I treasure to this day.” One of those “fond memories” Sister Barbara recalled was about the lunches they would take to the track.
