Learn the amazing story of Saint Mother Theodore Guerin who arrived in Indiana in 1840 and founded the Sisters of Providence and Saint Mary-of-the-Woods College as well as many other schools, orphanages and pharmacies throughout state. The shrine, which opened in October 2014, is an exhibit that chronicles Mother Theodore’s journey from her early days in France all the way to her pioneer days in Indiana. Divided into rooms representing different periods of her life, you’ll find original artifacts, including Saint Mother Theodore’s writing desk, chaplet, prayer book, shoes and more. Tucked behind the exhibit of her amazing life is a small chapel room where you’ll find Saint Mother Theodore’s final resting place. Spend time with Saint Mother Theodore in this place of prayer and reflection. All are welcome.
