Reception: Friday, October 2, 6 – 9 pm

In 1840, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin founded the Sisters of Providence at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, located just northwest of Terre Haute. The Sisters of Providence devote themselves to serving others through works of love, mercy, and justice. The Sisters of Providence now minister in 17 states, the District of Columbia, and Asia.

There is a long history of creative activity at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods. This exhibition will explore the connection between creativity and spirituality in the work of six artists: Sister Jody O’Neil, current Artist-in-Residence at the Roethele Art Studio of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods; Sister Rita Ann Roethele; Sister Adelaide Ortegel; Sister Esther Newport; Sister Edith Pfau; and Sister Sophia Chen.
