St. Mother Theodore Guerin
Saint Mother Theodore Guerin, foundress of the Sisters of Providence
of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Ind., has been called a visionary, a model
of virtue, and a source of inspiration and hope. Hers is a story of
strength and prayer; challenge and humility; sorrow and peace.
On
Oct. 15, 2006, Mother Theodore Guerin was recognized as a saint by Pope
Benedict XVI in a canonization ceremony at St. Peter's Square in Rome.
In
1998, the world came to know what Sisters of Providence have known for
years. In October of that year, Pope John Paul II granted the title of
"Blessed" to Mother Theodore, signifying that she is a holy woman
worthy of honor and veneration.
