Sisters of Charity of New York
Now in our third century of living lives of love
The Sisters of Charity of New York is a community of Roman Catholic women religious who share in the ongoing mission of Jesus. We do so by responding to the signs of the times in the spirit of Saints Elizabeth Ann Seton, Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac. We strive to reveal God’s love in our lives and in our varied ministries with and for all in need, especially those living in poverty.
You can make a difference—help us change lives! Join in the mission of the Sisters of Charity of New York. Subscribe to our quarterly e-Newsletter to stay up-to-date on our work and the life of our Congregation.
