What is the mission of the Sisters of Charity?
Jesus Christ came “to bring good news to the poor, to proclaim liberty and to the blind new sight, to set the downtrodden free, to proclaim the Lord’s year of favor” ( Luke 4: 18-19) The mission of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth is to proclaim and live this gospel of Jesus Christ. In the tradition of Saint Vincent de Paul our Congregation participates in the mission of the Church fundamentally through ministry supported and nourished by prayer and vowed life in community. From the beginning our ministry has encompassed commitments in education, health care, and pastoral and social services. Strengthened by the gift of the Eucharist we pledge to pour ourselves out in service to our neighbor. In communion with other disciples we participate in the mission of the Church as it works to transform the world in charity, justice and peace.
