Celebrating 25 Years of Providence Place at Ingleside

As we mark the 25th anniversary of Providence Place at Ingleside, we reflect on our journey fueled by the Sisters of Providence’s vision and commitment to serving others. From its long-ago opening as a cherished home for the Sisters, to its transformation into the vibrant independent living community it is today, Providence Place stands as a beacon of innovation and hope.

A Testament to Vision and Community

In the 1990s, SP President Sister Ruth McGoldrick, alongside Sisters Joan Mullen, SP, and Mary Caritas Geary, SP, led their community on a journey to repurpose their Providence Mother House. This beloved residence — steeped in history and tradition — had served its original purpose for over six decades, but now it stood with unused space.

This prompted the Sisters to carefully reconsider its future.

Their Vision Was Clear

To honor the legacy of the Sisters of Providence while meeting the evolving needs of the civic community.

Thus, Providence Place at Ingleside was born—an active, independent senior community for residents seeking to embrace life fully while maintaining their autonomy and well-being.

This year, as we commemorate 25 years of Providence Place, we celebrate not only the physical transformation of a building, but also the profound impact it has had on countless lives. From a private home for the Sisters, to a home open to religious and lay persons of all faiths, Providence Place welcomes individuals into a community defined by warmth, camaraderie, and mutual respect.

In embracing these sentiments, the Sisters of Providence demonstrated remarkable foresight—and debuted a pioneering model of shared living—that fosters a sense of belonging for all who walk through its doors. Providence Place stands as a testament to the power of the Sisters’ collaboration, compassion, and shared commitment to enriching the lives of others.

As we honor the past and look to the future, let us reaffirm our dedication to the values that define Providence Place: independence, community, and a steadfast belief in the inherent dignity of every individual. May the next 25 years be marked by continued growth, innovation, and a deepening sense of unity as we strive to build a senior community where all are valued and embraced.
