The Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul are an apostolic congregation of vowed women religious called to be channels of God's Providence in the world through compassionate service in response to the needs of the times. The Sisters of Providence are the only religious congregation founded in Kingston, an historic Canadian city on the shore of Lake Ontario.

Since its humble beginning in 1861, the congregation has grown as its pioneering work with the poor has taken Sisters across the country and beyond.

World Day of the Sick
February 11, 2010
Spirit Healer,
I trust in the strong roots
you have planted in my heart.
Just as a tree planted by the water’s edge
extends its roots toward the current,
so do I turn to You, Source of Life.
I have stretched out my branches
which are my experiences and relationships,
and they have sprouted leaves of grace.
In those times when my life is marked
by loss or sickness
I trust in your healing presence;
I trust in YOU. Amen.
