Travel Journal
  • After our visit with the Baltimore Carmelites, our next stop is with the Oblate Sisters of Providence, the first permanent Catholic sisterhood established by women of African descent, in 1829. We’re honored that our IHM foundress, Sister Theresa Maxis Duchemin, was originally an Oblate Sister of Providence!
  • We spend time in prayer at the shrine of Mother Mary Lange, who founded the OSP congregation and is in the canonization process for sainthood.
  • “Providence provides.” On the podcast, our guests Sister Marcia and Sister Gabriel talk with the online community about what it means to have a profound trust in God in the face of great challenges. Truly inspiring!
  • We stay overnight with the sisters and in the morning head back to Toledo, taking along great memories of our visits in Baltimore. Our Cher playlist keeps us energized as we drive down the home stretch :)
