Volunteering
When you volunteer for the Sisters of Providence you help continue the mission that Saint Mother Theodore began back in 1840. We help our volunteers find the right opportunity that fits their interests and passions. Some of our volunteers keep a regular schedule while others help out as their time permits. Volunteering is a great way to meet people, gain experience, and boost your confidence. Volunteer opportunities with the Sisters of Providence include visiting patients in health care, leading tour groups, answering phones, maintaining the grounds, working in the organic gardens, helping with alpacas and assisting at special events and more. To learn more about volunteering contact our Volunteer Coordinator Sarah Knoblock at 812-535-2878.
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.

Teen volunteer excited to share experience with others
Seeing how accommodating and welcoming the Sisters of Providence were made me proud to be Catholic. Being a part of the community, even for a few days, left a lasting impression on me.

Providence teen volunteer grows closer to God by serving others
Volunteering here has helped me reach into the depths of my mind and soul. It has made me realize how much serving my community and making others happy means to me. This experience has made me so much closer to God as I use my God-given gifts to serve.
