“It’s those gates”
A musing on what happens when you enter the gates at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. It happened again. This time it was during the orientation of our newest candidates to become associates of the Sisters of Providence.

The pandemic has introduced us to a whole new vocabulary, e.g., who’s in your bubble? And take care to social distance! And for the Sisters of Providence and staff at the Woods, “Have you been stickered yet?” Let me explain. Every day each Sister of Providence or staff member at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods has her/his temperature taken, answers a few questions about their activities and then receives a sticker as proof that they were screened that day.
