Mass will take place in the Church of the Immaculate Conception\, located 10 minutes northwest of downtown Terre Haute. The service is open to the public. \nA feast day in the Catholic tradition is a day set aside to commemorate the life of saintly individuals or a specific event. \nSaint Mother Theodore Guerin founded the Sisters of Providence in 1840. She was born Anne-Therese Guerin on Oct. 2\, 1798\, in the village of Etables in Brittany\, France. She was canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on Oct. 15\, 2006\, and her feast day was designated for Oct. 3. She is the first Indiana saint and the eighth Catholic saint in the United States. \nMother Theodore came to the United States from France in 1840 to establish a Congregation of women religious and to teach pioneer girls. After a journey of more than three months\, she and her five sister companions arrived at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods to a dense forest and primitive conditions. \nFrom those origins\, a vibrant Congregation and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College were given life and are sustained to this day through Mother Theodore’s foresight\, legacy and energy\, which continues to motivate the generations of Sisters of Providence who have followed in her footsteps. \nMany of the sisters’ ministries today focus on maintaining a vital presence in educational settings\, working for justice\, preserving the environment\, health care for the sick\, assisting those in need\, spiritual direction and a commitment to non-violence. \nPeople throughout the world continue to contact the Congregation for information about Saint Mother Theodore Guerin\, and to request the sisters pray for their personal intentions through her intercession. \nAll are welcome to visit the grounds or pray at Saint Mother Theodore’s Shrine. Pilgrimages\, retreats and tours may be arranged by contacting Providence Spirituality & Conference Center at 812-535-2925 or by emailing pvctr@spsmw.org.
