Take a beautiful fall weekend and mix it with programs highlighting spirituality, music and art and you have the makings for this year’s Saint Mother Theodore Guerin Fest Oct. 21-23 at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind.
The Fest’s theme is “Living the Legacy Now!” and the weekend will focus on the life of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin. Saint Mother Theodore came to the Indiana wilderness from France in 1840 and quickly grew to love the land. She felt a personal call to sustainability and being good stewards of what God has entrusted to us which is exemplified in how the Sisters of Providence live today.
Mother Theodore welcomed people of all faith traditions and there is something for everyone at this uplifting event. See our Schedule of Events for workshops and the activities being offered.
The registration fee for the three-day weekend is $50 per person, all meals included. A special Saturday only rate of $25 (two meals included) is also offered.
A special highlight of this year’s Fest is a 6:30 p.m. concert, featuring the Vigo County Extension Homemakers Chorus. The concert will be conducted in Cecilian Auditorium in the Conservatory of Music at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. Fest participants will be able to attend the concert free of charge.
The Vigo County Extension Homemakers Chorus began in 1936. Its Director Jackie Reeves notes, “Our chorus serves as a musical outlet for those who love to sing, providing opportunities to sing throughout the community. As far as I’m concerned, our purpose is to spread joy!”
