You won't have to look too long or hard to find Sisters of Providence talking to people about life as a woman religious during the annual National Vocation Awareness Week (Jan. 9-14). Actually, they are going to make a month out of it.
Former Vocation Director Sister Jenny Howard, who now ministers as a general officer for the Congregation, was a presenter at St. Peter Parish in Linton, Ind., on Jan. 8. On the same day, current Vocation Director Sister Edith Ben (right) visited St. Mary Parish in Sullivan, Ind., and St. Joseph Parish in Terre Haute.
On Jan. 11, Sister Mary Mundy spoke to a group at St. John the Baptist Church in Newburg, Ind., and Sister Mary Ann Stewart and Sister Editha were presenters at Cathedral High School in Indianapolis.
Coming up:
Jan. 14: Sister Barbara Bluntzer, Corpus Cristi area, Texas.
Jan. 15: Sister Dina Bato, St. Jude Parish, Indianapolis.
Jan. 22: Sister Editha Ben, Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish, Vincennes, Ind.
Jan. 25: Sister Mary Tomlinson, St. Giles Parish, Oak Park, Ill.
Jan. 27: Sister Editha Ben, St. Barnabas School, Indianapolis.
Jan. 30: Sister Editha Ben and Sister Martha Rojo, St. Paul High School, Santa Fe Springs, Calif.
If you live near one of these schools or parishes, you are most welcome to meet the sisters who will be sharing information there. If not, and you think you might want more information about the life of women religious, or the discernment process, contact Sister Editha at 812-535-2895 or at eben@spsmw.org.

St. Giles is in Oak Park, not Oak Lawn.
