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.

We are delighted to share that the Congregation’s latest history book, Charity With Every Breath, has now been published. The book reflects on the mission and ministry of the Sisters of Charity Halifax over the past 25 years.

You helped make this story possible.

Through your generous support and partnership in mission, the Sisters have continued to respond to the cries of the poor and the cries of Earth, foster racial justice, and reach those who are vulnerable, marginalized, or too often unheard. Your generosity has helped us respond to urgent and critical needs and offer hope, comfort, compassion, and love to people and communities near and far. Charity With Every Breath captures a remarkable chapter in the life of the Congregation, a time of change, challenge, faithfulness, and enduring commitment to living the charism of charity for the sake of the world.

And the mission continues.

With you, our partners in mission, we continue to respond to the needs of our world and seek ways to ensure that the charism of charity remains alive and active wherever it is needed most. We are deeply grateful for the many ways you journey with us and make this work possible.

Thank you for your unwavering generosity, friendship, and support. Please know that you remain in our prayers, with gratitude for all that we have accomplished together and all that is still to come. With gratitude and blessings.
