The remarkable life of Mother Marie Gratia Luking
...Sister-Catechists, established a summer school for the sister-catechists modeled after the summer school held at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. The sister-catechists received instruction in religion, teaching methods, church singing, first aid, private organ lessons and daily instructions on their rule and religious life. Despite the unsettled political situation, Sister Marie Gratia, with the support of the Sisters of Providence in the United States and their generous students, as well as Bishop Tacconi and many of the missionary clergy, was able to embark...
Sister Michaela Galvin
...telling the class that their teacher would be leaving, at which point, they all burst into tears – quite the introduction for their new teacher standing there. Janet later grew to appreciate Michaela when she suffered no penalties for just sitting reading books instead of doing her lessons. Sister Marceline, too, remembers Michaela’s arrival at St. Leo’s, noticing a brownish tint to Michaela’s skin and discovering that she was a lot of fun, she dubbed her Teddy Bear Galvin. Michaela...
Day of the Dead — All Souls Day
...for my resistance and the beauty of the plan of God. Resistance? I miss the person I love and want her/his presence as I’ve known it – not as it is available to me in the loved one’s transformation into new life. It’s as simple as that for me. Beauty of the plan of God? In the cycle of seed to fruit to seed to fruit, it is easier for me to see how the dying transforms to new, fuller...
Sister Jacquelyn Hoffman
...them. It is God who plants the seed, then watches to see if maybe someday it will blossom into a positive response. Oh, how glad I am that God never gave up on me. When was it that I was awakened to this desire planted within me? My first recollection is before I ever started to school. I would run through the empty lot behind our house to be with the sisters at St. Jude’s (Fort Wayne, Ind.), who would...
Of liverwort and shaved eyebrows: Anne Healey remembers Sister Helen Vinton the scientist
...the growth of these tiny cells over several weeks was catching. We even mourned when part of the plant died. I was impressed with Sister Helen’s commitment to the wonderment of nature and that she genuinely cared how much my plant grew. The other significant memory I have is one summer she went somewhere to study something. (My memory fails me on the specifics.) Anyway she came back with shaved eyebrows because they were studying a microscopic mite that lives...
New Providence Associates share their journey, part 2
...plan to visit Saint Mary-of-the-Woods when it’s safe, and take a tour group there from our parish in Bloomington. My husband and I love visiting the sisters. As a Providence Associate, I will begin each day with gratitude. I plan to do tasks with intent for the good of anyone I can help with a smile, phone call or written note, especially during the pandemic. Providence Associate Vonda Monts of West Terre Haute, Indiana, with Sister Rosemary Schmalz Vonda Monts...
Beautifying the Woods
...statue of Saint Therese of Lisieux in Providence Park. Weeds had overtaken some of the grass around these statues, so they had to replace the vegetation. Sister Mary estimated at least 60 pots around the grounds have been filled with new flowers since they began the project. They also planted new flowers at St. Joseph’s Lake. And many other Sisters of Providence have taken part as well. For example, Sister Regina Marie McIntyre has helped with additional planting while Sister...

At home in nature
...nature. Can you picture her bringing them inside and preparing them as a tonic or drink to bring back some color to her face? All three plants were plentiful in these woods in her time, as they still are today. Representation of all three plants grace the Shrine of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin in a very nontraditional way: as stained glass windows. The plants were chosen for the windows with special meaning. Their design in the windows is both abstract...
