"Come and See" us in California!

By Sister Editha Ben, vocation director

If you’re thinking about religious life and are near Orange, California, why not “Come and See” what the Sisters of Providence are all about? Catholic women ages 18-42 will gather Saturday, Aug. 11, at Marywood Retreat Center to attend our “Come and See” Day from 9:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. There are still a few spaces available for this bi-lingual event so call me today at 812-230-4771.

You’ll enjoy an introductory video about our foundress, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin and a lively panel discussion of sisters. We’ll help answer questions such as what drew us to the Sisters of Providence, how we are currently serving the Church, how we are living out lives of prayer and community life, how religious life brings meaning to our lives and the lives of others and why religious life is important today.

You will enjoy time for reflection, group sharing and Eucharistic Adoration, as well as time to ask questions and share thoughts and concerns. Past participants agree that it’s been very helpful to meet with other women who are also considering religious life because they realize they aren’t alone in their journeys.

The free day includes continental breakfast, lunch, snacks and all materials. Marywood Retreat Center is located at 2811 East Villa Real Dr. and the Center’s phone number is 714-282-3098. You can also get more information at SPVocations.
