Inspired by a sister’s holiness

“My spiritual heroes are Mother Teresa, Ghandi, Martin Luther King Jr., Nelson Mandela, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, Tony Dubois, Grace Sarosi, and Mr. Gurdjieff. They have lived in the world with souls of kindness and love inspirited by the Creator,” says Sheila Donis, a Providence Associate from Jasonville, Ind.

Where did Sheila’s great reverence for these women and men come? It came from her own heart that was touched by the many Sisters of Providence who taught her. It came from her companion, Sister Catherine Livers, of whom Sheila says, “Her kindnesses to the poor coupled with her holiness has inspired me for over 40 years.”

“It is difficult to think how life would have been for me if I had not been taught and loved by the Sisters of Providence,” says this fun-loving Providence Associate.
