How in 1856 did a few Sisters of Providence from Montreal manage to become the founders of St. Mary’s Hospital here in Walla Walla?
Author Linda Andrews will lead us through their trials and triumphs as they followed their “call to service” into the wilds of unsettled Washington Territory. Starting with a harrowing sea voyage, they made their way to the Walla Walla Valley to educate children and tend to the sick and poor. Theirs is a story worth hearing.
Presented by Linda Andrews, author of In Order to do Good: The History of Providence St. Mary Medical Center.
