Over 146 years of stories, headlines and photos

Our pioneer Sisters came to Holyoke in 1873 as members of another community from Kingston, Ont., Canada. In 1892, we became incorporated as the Sisters of Providence, an independent congregation in the Springfield Diocese.

Our History

No one can tell us how much prayer is needed for a balanced life, nor what kind. The spiritual life above all is a personal venture, the response of a personal call from God.
