...you to the Providence Associate relationship? It sounds like the “good school boy” response, but Providence really drew me to this relationship. I first visited the Woods as a teenager for a Lenten day retreat. Then I returned to the Woods a few years later, early in my career looking for a job. I worked for Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College for a couple of years in marketing and as an adjunct instructor. All along, I’ve been searching for what (more) God...

This Rooted for Tomorrow story was contributed by Lori Strawn, Wichita, Kansas, for the 175th anniversary of the Sisters of Providence arriving in Indiana. Only Providence could have propelled a young girl from California who had never met a Sister of Providence, let alone set foot in Indiana, to a decision that changed her life: Accepting a scholarship to a small, Catholic school called St. Mary-of-the-Woods. This is my story. I came to The Woods knowing no one. But quickly...

On October 4, the Catholic Church celebrates the life of Saint Francis of Assisi, a saint who is “known” to every Catholic, I believe. I suspect the image of Francis that most people conjure up is that of a monk in brown robes, surrounded by all sorts of God’s creatures and communing with them. Yet, when I worked at Marian University a few years ago and had the extraordinary privilege of being a faculty member chosen to go on a...
One continuous and continuing flow: All Saints and All Souls Days 2012
Sacred Heart Grove at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods For some time now, the celebrations of All Saints and All Souls days have sort of morphed together in my mind, each feast blended into the other.

Reflections for the local Golden Jubilee celebration
...give testimony to those words of Saint Paul’s proclaimed as our first reading. “God is faithful; by God you were called …” On this day, we celebrate both God’s faithfulness to you and your faithfulness to God. And though I find the words of Saint Paul a fitting blessing for today, I must admit that I was very drawn to the words of Saint Mother Theodore you selected – especially the part about the little boiled squirrels. I almost asked...
