This Rooted for Tomorrow story was contributed by Susan Riley, Galesburg, IL, for the 175th anniversary of the Sisters of Providence arriving in Indiana. I’m convinced the Sisters of Providence who staffed Costa School in the 1970’s were the most dedicated, devout, creative and resourceful group of religious to ever assemble.

Calls from the Woods provide a listening ear
...Sisters of Providence, even after I tell them that I’m not a sister. Calling during the phonathon reminds me that I’m furthering our relationship with these folks, rather than just asking for a donation.
