Become a sister
Welcome! We invite you to explore life as a Sister of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana.
Founded by a strong woman (saint!), our sisters have been breaking boundaries and creating hope for more than 175 years. Grounded in faith, we walk with those on the edges of society, serving in many diverse ways. We support each other through a loving, tight-knit community. Our motherhouse is in Indiana, but we serve throughout much of the United States and in Taiwan.
“I choose to believe that even one life can make a difference. I choose to follow in the footsteps of the prophets, the saints, Jesus, Mother Theodore Guerin …”
Sister Corbin Hannah
“I think that we are called, that God leads us, to what will bring us the most wholeness in our life …”
Sister Jenny Howard
Sisters of Providence share what it means to them to be a member of the Congregation and to collaborate with others to create a more just and hope-filled world through prayer, education, service and advocacy.
