Providence Associate Beverly Adams: How it Started
...was hesitant because there were no African Americans and word was they were not thrilled to have us. I told Sister Jo and, for quite a while, she went with me to morning and Sunday Mass. She introduced me to the pastor, and other parishioners began welcoming me. To help me feel more comfortable, she encouraged me to continue with my lectoring and Eucharistic minister ministries. Sister Jo’s Providential love has guided me in a way that brought good from...

A remarkable woman
...may not be printed in their entirety until after their publication in Rome, which will be after the proclamation of sainthood by Pope Benedict XVI. However, we are permitted to share excerpts of the articles at this time.

This invoice also caught my eye because the printing is stunningly beautiful!
