Sister Paula Modaff
...something different all the time and I just loved it. After I was in, she was nothing but supportive,” Sister Paula said. Her journey has been challenging and exciting. “My students kept asking me, ‘Don’t you ever get bored?’ Oh, please, oh, please, just five minutes of boredom. I don’t care where, any time. Just give me five minutes to be bored. My life is so full. There is never enough time to do all the things I would like...
Sister Mary Michael Lager
...Lager, who died Saturday, July 8, 2017, at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana. She was 98 years old and had been a Sister of Providence for 81 years.

Four women profess perpetual vows as Sisters of Providence
...is Providence calling me/us in this time and place? What are the urgent needs of this time? How am I/are we being called by Providence to respond to the needs in this time?” Sister Beth said. For Sister Beth one of the needs of the time that ignites her passion is supporting women. “Women today have so many more opportunities than they used to have. But, women today, in general, in most cultures, are not considered equal,” she said. “My...
Language barriers, smiles and unexpected gifts: Sister Denise Wilkinson reflects from France
...Family Chapel – the chapel where Sister St. Theodore professed her vows and from which she and her companions took their first steps toward Indiana? While sitting in the chapel, did I expect to spend time wondering where the altar had been when she was here; how the chairs had been arranged; what liturgical art decorated the walls when Mother Theodore worshipped here? Could I ever have expected that every time I am in this chapel, I would ask the...
Sister Mary Montgomery
...birds singing and the day awakening. Yesterday I saw a mother deer and a baby deer in our cemetery. That was so cool. The little fawn was jumping over tombstones. And then on north campus there was a skunk. I have only seen a live skunk once before in my lifetime. I’m glad it was a few feet away. I love the scriptures and meditating on a verse or two. Other times, I am just wordless, realizing I’m in the...
Appreciating Our Volunteers during Volunteer Appreciation Month
...bright, unique person that you are,” or many other inferential attributes. Heartfelt Gratitude April is Volunteer Appreciation Month. To say the Sisters of Providence appreciate their volunteers would not encompass the gratitude and esteem felt toward those who share their time and energy with the community. Time is our most precious resource and asset. Volunteers use their talent and share their time to further the Providence Community’s goals of showing and spreading God’s love, mercy and justice to the world,...
Quaran-Teen: prayer and sharing bring hope
...judgement and know that in return you will not be judged. To know that you are safe to say how you feel and to give others that sense of security. It’s a matter of expressing emotion in a time when it feels like anything other than calm acceptance is almost taboo. It’s freeing. The other part that helps, the practical part, is that it gives me a sense of routine. In a time where it seems like I have no...
Sister Alexa Suelzer
...showed me the card Alexa had written to her for her Jubilee. I am quite sure she wrote to each Jubilarian. She was so thoughtful and so aware of doing the kind thing that meant so much to the person receiving her notes or cards. Sister Ann Margaret recalls the times that the sisters living at Immaculata had the gift of going to spend time at a beach house. Alexa’s thoughtfulness led her to deliver breakfast in bed to Ann...
Sister Patty Fillenwarth
...The desire to be a missionary never left her, so during her formation time Sister Patty filled out paperwork to be considered for the SP foreign missions. She had finished her teaching degree, taught middle-school aged children eight years and had professed final vows by the time it was decided that she would prepare to go to the SP mission in Peru, South America. Sister Patty was 30 years old and was completing her master’s degree before going to Peru...
One step at a time: Sister Dina on upcoming vows
...a prayer time reflecting on the forthcoming profession and its meaning for me at this juncture of my journey. No doubt, forever is a long time and such a declaration ought not to be taken lightly. The following resolutions I will make during the liturgy evidence the vital magnitude this perpetuity calls for. They speak to my soul through a heart-warming whisper: To persevere in following Christ as a Sister of Providence all the days of my life; To unite...
