For the past 30+ years, Providence Renewal Centre has been a “sacred space in a busy world.” As COVID19 forced us to close our doors and grounds to the public, we’ve been challenged to re-imagine our “sacred space” ministry. The Spirit seems to be nudging us to support you, our patrons, to cultivate the “sacred” within your own “space.” Until recently, our on-site programs were an opportunity for you to taste the sacred, the quiet, and, equipped with the experience, to take it into your life. Now, as we strive to protect the Sisters that make our ministry possible, we focus on supporting you to awaken to the quiet or not-so-quiet spaces of your own life and to see them as sacred, God-infused. Technology need not be a barrier to sharing prayer, education and companionship. Stay up-to-date as to how and where the Spirit is leading by signing up for our e-news and/or share the link to do so with a friend.

Presence Program

Called in Love, Sent to Serve reflects the heart Providence Renewal Centre’s Spiritual Director Training Program, PRESENCE. Nine people answered the call to the ministry of spiritual direction and were sent to serve with a graduation on June 7, 2018. The Presence Program offers a supportive and prayerful learning experience which includes thematic learning modules, theological reflection, spiritual practices, retreats and a practicum. Participants learn alongside other seekers and journey with a team of professionals. This ecumenical, live-in, formation program is two years in length (September to June each year).

The next Presence Program takes place September 2019 to June 2021. For more information contact Debbie Doornbos, 780-701-1853 or email. Do you feel called?
