175 Years of Joyful Witness to Love

In 2024, the Sisters of Charity marked 175 years of joyful witness to love; the love of God, of one another, and of all people. For over 175 years, we have responded to the cries of the poor, advocated for racial justice, and taken action against the climate crisis. None of this would have been possible without the generosity of our dedicated benefactors.

Because of you, lives are transformed:

🌍 Care for all life on Mother Earth and relief to communities devastated by climate change.
📚 Tuition support and STEM scholarships empower women and first-generation college students in underrepresented communities.
🚶 Resources aid migrants and newcomers seeking refuge from troubled homelands.
🏠 Women and their children find safety as they flee intimate partner violence and human trafficking.
💜 Health and wellness programs provide critical care and education for women in need.

We have come so far, but our work is far from over. The need has never been greater, and with your continued support, we can expand our impact in Canada, the U.S., and beyond.

We invite you to explore 175 years of history and impact stories of our Sisters, our ministries, and the communities we serve. Visit the 175 Years link on our website or follow us on Facebook to witness the lives your generosity has touched.

Loved and energized by the One who calls us, our mission continues: responding to the cries of the poor, protecting the environment, and dismantling systemic injustice. We also care for our elder Sisters, whose wisdom and charism inspire us daily.

Join us in our Joyful Witness to Love campaign and become a vital part of our shared mission of compassion and change. Your generosity makes miracles happen. Donate today. We are profoundly grateful for your support.
