Sisters of Providence accepting Providence Associate applications through June 30
The Providence Associate program of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, in St. Mary-of-the-Woods, is accepting applications for Providence Associates through June 30.
If you are looking for spiritual enrichment, support, a community, or a sense of mission, God may be nudging you to become a Providence Associate of the Sisters of Providence.
Providence Associates are women and men of faith, ages 18 and older, who share their own unique gifts and talents with others while walking with the Sisters of Providence.
The Providence Associate relationship with the Sisters of Providence began in 2007. Currently, there are more than 300 Providence Associates in the United States and Taiwan.
Accepted applicants spend a year meeting one-on-one on a regular basis with a Sister of Providence or another Providence Associate companion. During the meetings, the candidates and their companions learn and share about Providence spirituality.
Accepted candidates attend an orientation at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods in November. Following the orientation, the candidate and companion usually meet once a month—in person, virtually or by phone—for the coming year.
For more information, go to ProvidenceAssociates.org or contact Providence Associate Director Debbie Dillow at 317-250-3294 or ddillow@spsmw.org.
