Share a laugh with Mother Theodore Jan. 10

Sisters Mary Ryan (L) and Marianne Mader are the
guest speakers for "Saint Mother Theodore Guerin 101: Humor"
scheduled 6:30-8 p.m. Jan. 10 in Providence Center.

Who would have thought that humor would have played a huge role in the life of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, foundress of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind.?

If you have never thought about that aspect, then the program "Saint Mother Theodore Guerin 101: Humor" is meant for you. The program is scheduled 6:30-8 p.m. Tues., Jan. 10, in the Providence Center Conference Room at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind. Admission is free and the event is open to the public. Read more about the program here.

Sisters Mary Ryan and Marianne Mader, both of the Sisters of Providence Archives Department, will lead the discussion and talk about many of the funny writings and quotes authored by Mother Theodore, who was canonized the eighth American saint (and the first in Indiana) in 2006.

A highlight of the Jan. 10 program is Mother Theodore's journal. She made her first notation on Oct. 22, 1840, the first night after she and her five companion-sisters arrived at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.
