COVID-19 Precautions

The Sisters of Charity of New York are deeply concerned about the safety and health of all impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. In light of this crisis, we are taking the necessary precautions to protect the well-being of our Sisters and staff members at all locations where our Sisters live and work. We are diligently monitoring the Center for Disease Control website for the latest announcements and recommended protocols, as well as those of local authorities. We encourage everyone to do the same. It is critical that we do everything possible to protect ourselves and our families, and extend kindness and consideration to our neighbors while staying safe.
Please join us in praying for health care professionals and all who work to protect us. May God bless us all.

The Mission Continues: Who is My Neighbor?

For over 200 years, the Sisters of Charity have advocated for our neighbor — those most in need of our love and support. Today we continue to serve our neighbor through our sponsored ministries.
