Sisters of Providence will welcome two new postulants on March 23 through its Asian mission. In addition, three postulants will become canonical novices.
Please keep these women and their SP directors in your prayers. The five women in Asia join eight women in the U.S. in initial formation with the Sisters of Providence.
The Sisters of Providence have had a missionary presence in Asia since 1920, when six sisters responded to a call for missions. Mother Maria Gratia Luking is considered the foundress of the mission in Asia.
According to a study on religious vocations completed in 2009, 34 percent of religious communities have no women in initial formation. The Sisters of Providence will now have 13, placing us in the top 8 percent of religious communities nationwide in terms of numbers of women in initial formation
This is a hope-filled, energetic sign for the future.
