Providence Associate Bill Hughes Let’s begin with a story from Saint Mother Theodore Guerin’s journal. She was returning from a trip to France in 1844: “The most painful sight I saw in New Orleans was the selling of slaves.

Lo! I said to myself, these Americans, so proud...

...growing up. There were seven children and every Sunday, their mother would make 12-dinner-plate size pizzas, dress everyone in their Sunday best and the family would go to the Woods. They met Mary Jo, who took them all over the place and played games with them. They were even allowed, Sunday-best clothes and all, to catch tadpoles in the fountain. Mary Jo was also very close to her brother Marvin and his family. The morning of my father’s funeral, we...
Sister Mary Ann Fox (formerly Sister Marie Clement)
...communicator via U.S. mail who never forgot a birthday and always showed gratitude through her thank-you notes. When she returned to the Woods, I wondered if she owned the Hallmark store with all of the cards she brought with her. Her niece Ann said that she was the one relative who always sent a birthday card consistently every year – typically Peanuts. She never forgot. After sending a birthday card to Bishop McManus, he sent her a reply and I...

Sister Marianne Mader
...until March 6 on my dad’s birthday. They took me back to church and did the whole ceremony. The priest, he’s still alive, said to my mother, “You never know. She might grow up to be something after all. You can never look at them at this stage and wonder if she’s going to make it.” So, you know, I feel like my whole life is providential. I could see in the sisters that they were happy and that looked...

The first chapel that they built was a small log structure, but in 1875 they built a more permanent stone structure that still stands today. Nearly all of the shells that decorate the walls and altar of...
