On Nov. 13, Anna Fan, a native of Taiwan, was received into the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods in St. Mary-of-the-Woods, as a postulant.

During her time of postulancy, Fan will learn about the Sisters of Providence, their community practices, traditions and ministries. She will meet with Providence Sister Marsha Speth, director of postulants, once a week for instructions and individual conferences.

In addition, Fan will work as a volunteer once a month in the local area, as well as take time volunteering with other Sisters of Providence across the country.

Fan will live within the formation community of the Sisters of Providence, located in Owens Hall.

Her relationship with the Sisters of Providence began while volunteering with Sisters of Providence at Miracle Home in Taiwan in 2011.

After a year as a postulant, Fan will be eligible to enter into the first year of the novitiate, when she will receive the title of sister.
