Terre Haute Landmarks hosts historical tour Saturday, Oct. 9, at SMW

Terre Haute Landmarks Inc. and the Sisters of Providence will host the Second Saturdays program from 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. on Oct. 9 at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.

Visitors will begin their journey in the Church of the Immaculate Conception where Sister Jeanne Knoerle will talk to them about the church's history and architecture.

Sister Mary Roger Madden will speak to visitors at the Blessed Sacrament Chapel, which also is architecturally and artistically unique.

Sister Donna Butler, a member of the Congregation's Archives staff, will greet visitors at the Heritage Museum to learn more about the historically important memorabilia that the Congregation has collected through the years.

Visitors also will be treated to a rare visit from Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and they will be able to tour the grounds. Light refreshments will be served. Guests will be invited to register for a drawing for two free Sunday Brunch tickets. Saint Mary-of-the-Woods was recently voted to have the best Sunday brunch offering in the Terre Haute area.
