“Come and See” the Sisters of Providence

God has given each of us specific gifts and talents. It’s no accident that as we grow in those areas, we enjoy doing what we’re good at, what we excel at in life. It’s one of the ways that God confirms within each of us how we are to live our “one wild and precious life.”*

As Christians, it’s also important that we give those gifts in service to others, as a way to glorify God. We take those gifts and talents into account as we discern our vocation, whether it be to live as a single, married or vowed religious person. Religious life is a way to live, not a career choice. The options are limited only by one’s imagination!

The Come and See Weekend, April 13-15, is a wonderful opportunity for women who are considering religious life to visit Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, the motherhouse of the Sisters of Providence. You’ll have quality time to get to know the sisters. Witness first-hand their “faith-in-action” while learning about their ministries and hearing their stories. Worship with them at Eucharistic Liturgy, pray individually and in groups and experience community life. And, you’ll be with other discerning women with similar questions and feelings.

Hopefully, you’ll leave refreshed, encouraged and ready to take the next step in your own personal journey, wherever that may take you. Click here to register by April 6 for the April 13-15 gathering. Sister Editha Ben is available to answer questions at 1-800-860-1840, ext. 2895 or eben@spsmw.org
