Sixth Sunday
of Easter

images/ES-Easter-sixth-Sunday-sml-2012.jpg

Late Spring brings many celebrations of relationship: with our mother Mary and all mothers and mothers-to-be, with Jesus who leaves us in one way yet remains present in his Spirit, with family at sacramental and special moments, and with Creation's breathtaking beauty.

Find inspiration in Charity Wisdom from our founders, thoughts from our Sisters and Associates, and reflections on the Scriptures of the season.

The Sisters of Charity honor the 13 Sisters who celebrate anniversaries in February 2012.
We are grateful for their combined years of dedicated service to the betterment of others.

OUR MISSION

Living Lives of Love...
OUR MISSION AS SISTERS OF CHARITY
IS TO SHARE IN THE ONGOING
MISSION OF JESUS

by responding to the signs of the times
in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul
and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton,

by revealing the Father’s love in our lives
and in our varied ministries
with and for all in need,
especially those living in poverty.

ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON

Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton was born Elizabeth Ann Bayley on August 28, 1774 in New York City. Her remarkable life spans the full spectrum of human experience.
