Charity in the City...
June 1 – 13, 2010 |

June 2010: This year’s volunteers are out there now, bringing the Mission of Charity to those in need. You can follow their experiences via the blog to which the young ladies are posting insights and photos.
It’s too late to apply for the 2010 Charity in the City program, but you might want to start thinking about next year.
Are you a young lay woman between the ages of 18 & 30? Would you like to make a difference in the lives of the poor in New York City? Then our Charity in the City program may be for you. It’s a two week outreach ministry of the Sisters of Charity of New York, that lets you participate in the Mission of Charity to those in need. Along with some Sisters and their Colleagues, you’ll have opportunities for hands-on experiences of service, to reflect together on justice implications and strategies for change, and to share in community and prayer.
No experience needed — just a desire to help and a willingness to live simply. During the time of service, volunteers get a chance to catch some of the spirit and sites of Elizabeth Seton’s New York. Program runs June 1 – 13, 2010. This is our third year.
