Applications being accepted for Providence Associates
The Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods are currently accepting applications from persons interested in becoming Providence Associates for the 2009-2010 year.
Providence Associates are women and men (at least 18 years of age) of diverse faith traditions who seek a formal relationship with the Sisters of Providence. They may have known the sisters for a long time or have just recently heard about the sisters. Associates are drawn to this relationship with the Sisters of Prov-idence for many reasons, but primarily, they wish to deepen their spiritual life and they see themselves as being called to respond to the Providence vision through their own particular way of life.
Applications for the next fiscal year will be accepted through June 30. Contact Sister Diane Mason, assistant director of Providence Associates, at either (708) 364-7917 or dmason@spsmw.org or visit www.Providence-Associates.org.
