Commitment Statement of the Sisters of Divine Providence

In response to the UISG Plenary Sessions' Final Statement and Commitment points, the Congregational Leadership Board, at its meeting, October 3, 2025, agreed upon this "Commitment Statement of the Sisters of Divine Providence" on behalf of the total Congregation:

As Sisters of Divine Providence, an international congregation of women religious, we are called to make God’s Providence visible in our world. Rooted in trust in God’s faithful care, we commit ourselves to live at the edges of society, on the thresholds of struggle, and in the places of exclusion and hope.

To follow Providence is to reject all forms of exclusion and discrimination and to be a consoling, compassionate presence with those who are rejected or silenced. These spaces of vulnerability and courage are holy ground where God’s Spirit is already at work.

At the margins, we both give and receive. Through encounter, we are transformed by the wisdom, strength, and love of our sisters and brothers, discovering Providence alive in every person and community.

We commit ourselves to advocacy, accompaniment, and solidarity — working for a world where no one is excluded and every person is cherished as a beloved child of Providence.
