"I could see how it took great courage for her, a very young woman, to accept God's invitation to be the instrument through whom God's power turns the world upside down." — Dr. Bonnie Abadie '73, ACDP 🌸✨

On this Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we reflect on Our Lady’s courageous 'yes' to God’s call. As a community dedicated to empowering young women, Mary's courage serves as a powerful model for our students to lead with faith, strength, and love.

Read the full reflection by Dr. Bonnie Abadie on Catholic Women Preach. Bonnie currently serves on the School Board of Directors, a graduate of Providence, an Associate of the Sisters of Divine Providence of Texas, and a former Providence High School faculty member.

Dearest Mother, assumed into Heaven, pray for our students, families, and school community. Guide us to act with courage and faith in all we do. Amen. 🙏💙

From packing food bags and stocking shelves to assembling carts and distributing meals, our team was honored to lend a helping hand to support local families in need.

We are grateful for the time and support of the Catholic Charities, Archdiocese of San Antonio, Inc. staff to give us the chance to serve, support, and lift up our neighbors! 🙏✨

We pray for Sister Bernadette Bezner, CDP. 🙏🏼

Eternal rest grant unto her, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon her. 🕊

Sister Bernadette Bezner, CDP, also known as Sister Margaret Lynn, unexpectedly and peacefully entered eternal life on August 7, 2026, at the age of 78 in Regan Hall, San Antonio, Texas.

Born on November 26, 1947, in Detroit, Michigan, to William and Margaret (Muer) Bezner, Sister Bernadette grew up in Lindsay, Texas, with her six siblings. Throughout her life and ministry, she was guided by a deep desire to help others recognize God’s constant and unconditional love and to see God within themselves and in one another.

Sister Bernadette was a lifelong learner, a courageous risk-taker, and a woman attentive to Providence’s invitations. She responded generously through teaching, hospital chaplaincy, Mobile Ministry, prison ministry, and community life.

She earned a Master of Education from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio, Texas, a sponsored institution of the Congregation of Divine Providence, and a Master of Theological Studies from Saint Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri. She served as a dedicated Catholic and public-school teacher, including special education in the Edgewood School District in San Antonio, and later as Pastoral Associate and Director of Religious Education at St. Anthony Parish in Harlingen, Texas. She also coordinated and presented her congregation’s Mobile Ministry.

Sister Bernadette became certified by the National Association of Catholic Chaplains as a Supervisor in Clinical Pastoral Education. She ministered to the sick, the dying, and their families in Dallas, Texas; Wichita, Kansas, where she developed and initiated an evening chaplain ministry; and St. Louis, Missouri. She continued her hospital chaplaincy at East Texas Medical Center in Tyler, Texas, and later with the Methodist Healthcare System in San Antonio, Texas.

Her family, the Sisters of Divine Providence, and friends will honor her with a Rosary and Wake on Sunday, August 16, 2026, at 6:00 p.m., and a Mass of Resurrection on Monday, August 17, 2026, at 11:00 a.m. All services will be held in Annunciation Chapel at Our Lady of the Lake Convent, San Antonio, Texas.
