Today, the Archdiocese of Indianapolis celebrates as a solemnity the Feast of St. Mother Theodore Guerin, patroness of the Archdiocese and local saint.
Born in 1798 in the village of Etables-sur-Mer in Brittany, France, Saint Mother Theodore Guerin led an extraordinary life. She is the foundress of the Sisters of Providence of Saint Mary-of-the-Woods, Indiana, a congregation of Catholic nuns close to Terre Haute, Indiana. Mother was declared a saint by the Roman Catholic Church in 2006.
