Congregation of the Sisters of Divine Providence, Province Emmanuel von Ketteler e.V.

Purpose of the association

The Congregation of the Sisters of Divine Providence was founded in 1851 by Bishop Wilhelm Emmanuel von Ketteler in Finthen near Mainz.

Bishop Ketteler was committed to solving the "social question" in the age of industrialization. Our community was also to contribute to providing a response to the respective needs of the time.

We are an international apostolic community and want to bear witness to our charism in our lives and in our ministries: trust in God's providence and openness to his fatherly goodness.

In the Diocese of Mainz, this way of life is characterized by personal and communal prayer, a life in community according to the evangelical counsels, service in education and formation, to the sick and needy, and in the religious-pastoral field.

Founded: 1978
Register of Associations: VR 1774
