Our Ministries

In the tradition of our foundress, we serve society's most vulnerable members.

Our foundress, Mother Emilie Gamelin, made it her mission to care for the needy and vulnerable citizens of Montreal. As her influence grew, and was formalized in the order she founded, we, the Sisters of Providence, have maintained and expanded that focus.

You will find us engaged in:

• Education
• Parish Ministry
• Health Care
• Community Service and Support
• Housing
• Prison Ministry
• Pastoral Care
• Spiritual Direction and Retreats
• Foreign Missions

Sponsored Ministries

As the nature of our work grew more complex, we developed these nonprofit business organizations to manage it:

• Providence Health Services
• Providence Hospitality House
• Sojourner Place
