On Friday evening, March 2, Sister Diane Mason, director of the Providence Associate Relationship, and Debbie Dillow, PA, assistant director, made a presentation to the Mission Advisory Board (MAB) about the relationship. Sister Diane explained how religious and associates are in relationship and how that relationship within the life of the Church has changed over the years. She also provided a profile of the 160 women and men who are associates and the 27 people who are in their year of candidacy. Debbie, newly appointed to her position in February, shared her heart-felt story of finding the Sisters of Providence and ultimately finding her spiritual “home.”
During the evening, three Providence Associates were asked to make short presentations about why they became Providence Associates. Dave Cox, Terre Haute, Ind., made his first commitment as an associate last November. Dave is the media relations coordinator for the Congregation. Donna Watzke (upper right photo) resides in Carmel, Ind., and was a Sister of Providence for more than three decades. She serves on the MAB and supports the Congregation in a variety of ways. Susan “Sue” Weber hails from Bluffton, S.C., and has a long history with the Congregation, including membership on the MAB and other Congregation entities.
You, too, can become a Providence Associate. The application process is now open. We look forward to hearing from you!
