Together, let’s send out ‘Joy to the World’
...walkways and bridges. Lights were dancing in images on sidewalks and sides of buildings. Snowmen and reindeer, candy canes and wreaths were all lit up. Lights not only decorated Christmas trees, lights actually formed Christmas trees. Everywhere I looked in this wonderland of lights, I say joy. People were running from one creative display to another, trying to capture the beauty of the moment with their camera phones or handing over phones to others to “please take a picture of...
Adoption of Sustainable Lifestyles
...us to combat this and put the needs vs. wants ideals firmly into our consciousness. Take Time to Reflect We don’t need to rush to achieve a sustainable lifestyle. We need time to reflect, making unhurried choices. Do I need all my plants, or do they give me pleasure tending to them and watching them grow? Plants absorb carbon from the air. Do I need all the pictures hanging on the walls or standing on shelves? Maybe I enjoy having pictures that bring back...
My Third Great-Aunt
...in the history of the Sisters of Providence. She was in Saint Mary-of-the-Woods community from 1845 until her death in 1916. She was loyal, a hard worker and devoted to her vocation. Our Grandfather, Bill Hamant, was very proud of Sister Rose. He had her picture for many years. Before he died, he gave my mother the picture to pass down to family members. Grandfather Bill was born in 1887, so he must have known her, possibly visiting Saint Mary-of-the-Woods...

Docent of the Moment: Sister Barbara Bluntzer and Her Jubilee Year Ministry
...Barbara said. “When we first get in the shrine, we sit there in quiet for quite some time. Then I explain what happened to Mother Theodore.” She said many of these pilgrims are enthralled with one item. “Many of them are so impressed by the picture of Mother Theodore made with rice,” Sister Barbara said, referring to the picture which hangs in the hallway of Providence Spirituality & Conference Center. It was commissioned in Vietnam and gifted by the family...
Nonviolent Resistance
...three collectives associated with nonviolent resistance – collective responsibility, collective ownership and collective identity. Nonviolent resistance movements are rooted and led by communities, not individuals, addressing injustices. When I think about nonviolent resistance, the nonviolent protests of the 50s and 60s come to mind. I remember the 1963 picture from Birmingham, Alabama, of men and women walking down the street being attacked by police dogs and sprayed with water from fire hoses. I remember the picture from 1957 in New...
A Feeling of Hope
...to the song and watching the video, I wasn’t left with a feeling of sadness or despair. I was left with a feeling of hope. The video also contained pictures of Mother Teresa and Gandhi, and Farm Aid and presidents Carter and Reagan meeting with foreign heads of state and shaking hands. There were pictures of babies and children hugging each other. God has made us people of hope and this is the year of the Jubilee of Hope. As...
Art, an enduring legacy at the Woods
...One of her paintings, “Sunbeams in the Rockies” was exhibited in the 1893 World’s Fair in Chicago. Robert noted that upon entering the center they were immediately struck by the beautiful artwork in the hallway. He took pictures of the beautiful iris artwork by the late Sister Rita Ann Roethele, S.P. Later, in the shrine area, he took a picture of a blowup of the old fee schedule and description of available classes at that time in oil painting, watercolor...
A reflection for Reception into the Novitiate
...mother, she gathers each evening with family members on Facetime to pray for her mother – a ritual that will continue for an entire year. But I have to admit that I experienced another side of Leslie when I introduced her to my jade plant after our meeting ended. Not unlike others of her age, she whipped out her smart phone and took me to an APP: PictureThis, the essential guide to plant care, to help me get smart about...
Sister Lucille Nolan (formerly Sister Mary Lucille)
...story about her amazing Aunt Lucy. Upon passing a billboard recently that included a picture of a country singer that said, “Find the good in everybody. KINDNESS – Pass it on,” Niece Lucy asked these questions: Is the person pictured there Aunt (Sister) Lucy Kind? Is she Aunt Lucy, selfless, caring, compassionate, patient and unconditionally kind? Imagine being Kind with people who you know may be wrong, have different opinions, or someone you really don’t care for. “Aunt Lucy was...
University of Scranton: Week of service 2019
...bucket list. Erin O’Shaughnessy gets up close with new cria, Providence Tracy Dawn. Students spent some of their time interacting with many of the sisters including Sister Jean Fuqua, SP. The Hermitages served as a great place to unwind and solidify friendships for the students during their week. Students enjoyed dining together at the Hermitages where they stayed. The beauty of the woods was quite evident during the week of service. No summer is complete without a campfire and s’mores....
