Six Sisters of Providence celebrated Jubilee anniversaries in impressive fashion this summer, with more than 400 family, friends, and fellow Sisters convening on Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish in West Seattle. Altogether, the Jubilarians have devoted nearly 200 combined years of care, education, and love for those on the margins of society during their ministries throughout the world. 

These celebrations mark significant milestones of years in ministry, and the meaning goes even deeper: the Jubilee is a commemoration to the devotion these Sisters have made in answering their calls to religious life.  

The annual gathering is a cherished tradition that directly follows Community Days, providing an opportunity for the community of Sisters to treasure this joyous time together.
