Here you will find stories about those together in mission with the Sisters of Providence who share the unique spirit and gift of Providence. These partners say “yes” to God’s action in their lives and sense that they are somehow co-creators with God in bringing about a loving, merciful and just world. They do this through prayer, education, service, advocacy and financial support in whatever circumstances of life they find themselves.

Thank you to all who hosted, planned and attended! We hope you made the most of your time reconnecting and reminiscing.

We told you the beginning and middle of the story and asked you to write a happy ending. You did!

My heart is filled and overflowing for your sharing your stories as well as for your donations when that is possible.

Words cannot express how grateful we are for those who faithfully supported us in whatever ways they could.

Our present benefactors mirror these early supporters of our mission — a caring woman, a priest, two prominent businessmen — all in their own way enabling the mission and moving it forward by their talents and contributions.
