Community Living

Community: a place for sharing, love, acceptance, support. A place to be challenged, to be strengthened. For Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, living in community and being part of a larger spiritual community are integral to life. Are you seeking community? Become a Sister of Providence. Or join the larger community as a Providence Associate.

Teen finds happiness in volunteering with the Sisters of Providence

"I know that volunteering at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods has made me and the Sisters I interact with very happy. 'You will be happy yourself in making others happy.' I realize how true this quote is. As I became more comfortable while volunteering, I realized how happy it made me. I felt true happiness while helping the sisters." Madeleine Barroso-Gutierrez shares about her time volunteering Providence Teen Volunteer.
