General Announcements

Historical marker honoring St. Theodora to be dedicated

St. Theodora Guérin, foundress of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods and Indiana’s first saint, will be honored during a public dedication ceremony of an Indiana historical marker on April 29 at Saint Mary-of-the-Woods.

The dedication ceremony is scheduled for 2 p.m. near the Our Lady of Lourdes Grotto on the campus of the Sisters of Providence’s motherhouse. The location is also near where St. Theodora is believed to have arrived with five companions from France in 1840.

The dedication is open to the public and a reception with light refreshments will follow.

The bronze plaque commemorates the life of St. Theodora and her contributions to the historical foundation of Catholic education in Indiana and other states.

For more than 90 years, the Indiana Historical Bureau, an agency of the state of Indiana, has been marking Indiana history. Since 1947, the marker format has been the large roadside marker, which has the familiar dark blue background with gold lettering and the outline of the state of Indiana at the top. There are approximately 500 of these markers across the state.

(For more information about St. Theodora, log on to www.archindy.org/guerin.)
