Sister Ann Jeanette Gootee
...that one should not do for others what they were capable of doing for themselves. This was a matter of right relationship and justice for her, not to make people dependent. When she first entered Mother Theodore Hall due to memory loss, the social worker in her was still very evident as she reached out with such sensitivity to others. She particularly looked after Sister Francis Maureen in a kind of protective and companioning manner. Ann Jeanette enjoyed the outdoors...
A Christmas memory
...stood, with a Roman aqueduct behind us, remains one of the most beautiful memories of my life. We also went to the church in Bethlehem built over the site that tradition holds marks the place where Jesus was born. We found ourselves alone in the church.

My favorite part: visits to the Woods have an impact
“Show our students how sweetly tender is the Providence of God…” — Saint Mother Theodore Guerin We know that Saint Mary-of-the-Woods is a special place but we often discount how it is also a ministry. Children always provide fresh perspective that sometimes adults cannot grasp. Sisters of Providence Tour Manager, Rita O’Donohue, shared students’ letters after their visit. Some demonstrate the profound impact their visit made. “The one that really spoke out to me was the Shrine because Mother Theodore...
Volunteers help the Woods run smoothly
...with those ties as a member of its board of trustees. Volunteer and Providence Associate Peggy Balensuela leads a tour in the shrine of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. “When the Pope called Mother Theodore to sainthood (in 2006), I traveled with several of the sisters – and others, of course, to Rome and Vatican City.” It was at that time that Carl was asked to serve on a committee which was instructed to develop plans for a permanent shrine for...
A visit to the Woods
...high school friends and suggested an August trip. They all agreed. Again, Sister Ann proved to be a wonderful host, sharing lunch with us and taking us on an informative tour of the campus.
