“Visibly do I see in all things the wonderful Providence of God. May my trust be ever firmer, and simpler.”
- Mother Marie De La Roche,
Co-Founder of the Sisters of Divine Providence

With these words the Sisters of Divine Providence embrace life and live it in a spirit of trust and compassion. Our mission statement reflects our stance toward life in the lines,“… we nurture in ourselves and in others a trust and confidence in God’s faithful presence.” (CDP Mission Statement, 2003)

Trusting in God’s presence calls for ongoing fidelity, maturity, and a sense of adventure into the unknown. In a religious community of more than 600 sisters worldwide, the Sisters of Divine Providence know that we do not stand alone in risking our love for God and others. In the U.S., Puerto Rico, the Dominican Republic, Germany, Korea, and Peru, Sisters of Divine Providence daily meet the challenges of our Church and world.

Sustained by our community living, our prayer and faith sharing, and our love of serving God’s people, we journey together as signs of God’s love and care.

We invite women ages 18 and older to join us in the adventure of making God’s Providence more visible in our world as a Sister of Divine Providence. The invitation is clear—God asks for your whole life. Does the God who loves you call you to more?
