‘Nuns of the Battlefield’
...necessary that they should come in town every day, and it is a crying shame that they should be forced to walk. I can safely say that on the greater part of the way to the hospital the mud is very deep. A small, one-horse spring wagon would be of great use, and where so much money is spent, why not a little be invested to this good purpose. The Sisters are uncomplaining, and for that reason their comfort should...

The Providence Associates Advisory Board is excited to welcome Debbie Dillow, PA, as the new assistant director of the relationship. Debbie has been an associate since 2008 and has served on the advisory board since last spring. Debbie hails from Lizton, Ind. Debbie’s connection to the Congregation is unique. She wasn’t educated by the Sisters of Providence, but her children were taught by two SPs, although at the time she “did not know their affiliation.” It was another Providence Associate,...

St. Joseph’s Lake winter scene. Most people who have spent much time at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods have a favorite season here. Mine is winter. Actually, in January, it’s winter. In April, spring will be my favorite. In July … well, you get the point. Recently, I had the opportunity to spend some time at Luking Hermitage at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. As I looked at the trees that circle St. Joe’s Lake, I wondered if Mother Theodore had seen and admired those very...
Sister Mary Evangelista, Jessye the Cat, and Advent Waiting
...the numbers above the doors, tracking their progress and growing more impatient with each stop, Sister Mary Evangelista had trained herself simply to look at the doors. “And when they open,” she said, “I get on.” Jessye the Cat also knows how to wait. Jessye is past her prime now, but in her day, she was a champion pouncer. She would wait, crouched and alert, poised for action, ready to spring at whatever came into her line of vision —...

To prepare for this important National Assembly, regions gathered in June or July, as well. The special pre-assembly meetings across the U.S. allowed the national board and presidency...
A rest for weary bones
...for a cemetery, a new cemetery — its current location — was prepared in the spring of 1861. Nearly three years later, on Jan. 14, 1864, Mother Theodore’s coffin was raised from the ground and reinterred in a circular plot that was once the center of the current cemetery. With the consecration of the Church of the Immaculate Conception in 1907, Mother Theodore’s bones were exhumed and transferred once again, this time to the tomb area in the crypt of...

Sister Mary Montgomery
...Because I had come from a college campus that was offering spring break alternatives and mission trips to Central America and things like that, those short-term immersion experiences are stretching for me personally, no matter what age I am, but I think for young people in general it is a good experience. It was never meant to be a vocational program. It was to provide a good quality lay ministry, to focus on good, meaningful work for the common good...
The Joy of Vatican II
...from prescriptive to principled, from behavior modification to inner appropriation.” This was Good News I had never before heard, and it made the future look bright — being Catholic no longer meant a life of condemning non-Catholics, including Lutheran aunts and uncles, of looking to the people in charge to decide what was right, of fulfilling my pre-ordained role. In real ways this was a relief, and I found a spring in my step as being careful was replaced by...
