What's unique about the Daughters of Charity?
We are present to those who are in need of help, in being a listener and/or advocate. We are able to assists in the office setting or visit those who are poor in homes, hospitals and other organizational settings. We also provide for their physical, emotional, spiritual and material needs as far as we can at anytime. – Sr. Nora Sweeney
The Daughters of Charity are a Society of Apostolic Life. The most unique thing about us is that we never make permanent vows but renew them every year on the Feast of the Annunciation, March 25th. This allows us to choose anew every year to serve God by serving others in need. Our founder, Vincent de Paul, wanted the first Daughters to be able to be in the streets, taking care of the most abandoned, and this was one way of avoiding being forced back to the cloister by Church authorities in the seventeenth century. He was a very shrewd and practical man! - Sister Maura Hobart
The Daughters of Charity are unique in their total gift of self to Christ in the poor, in community. As a community of Apostolic Life, we are driven by the mission to serve, in a spirit of humility, simplicity and charity. - Sister Marilyn Perkins
We have a rich history that helps to make us who we are today. We aren't unique in being those who care for persons who are poor. But we do it because we are seeking to find Christ in those who are poor, and for them to find Christ in us. We do this with one another, in community. – Sr. Mary Frances Barnes
