The Sisters of Providence are a religious institute of Roman Catholic sisters founded in 1843 by Mother Émilie Gamelin. They are headquartered in Montreal, Quebec with five provinces: Mother Joseph Province, Holy Angels Province, Philippines Vice-Province, Émilie-Gamelin Province and Bernard Morin Province. In a recent article they are accused of decades of sexual abuse, severe physical injury and several murders in St. Joseph's Orphanage in Burlington, Vermont, and orphanages in Quebec.[1]
