Evolving Spirituality of a Sister of Charity – Halifax

Last November 2019, before any of us heard the word pandemic, Sister Martha Westwater pursued an independent research project that caught her attention. The topic she researched: The Evolving Spirituality of a Sister of Charity-Halifax. In this 50 page paper, she shares her perspective on how the faith of Elizabeth Seton, integrated and codified in an order of the day for the new community, became the foundation of the Prayer-Work symbiosis which was the basis of our spirituality for nearly one 150 years

We would like to acknowledge that we are in Mi’kma’ki, the ancestral and unceded territory of the Mi’kmaq People. This territory is covered by the “Treaties of Peace and Friendship” which Mi’kmaq Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet), and Passamaquoddy Peoples first signed with the British Crown in 1726. The treaties did not deal with surrender of lands and resources but in fact recognized Mi’kmaq and Wəlastəkwiyik (Maliseet) title and established the rules for what was to be an ongoing relationship between nations.

We also recognize the 400 plus year history of communities of African descent and the 50 African Nova Scotian communities throughout the region today.  As Sisters of Charity guided by the values of charity and solidarity, we recognize generations of African Nova Scotians who have experienced and continue to experience systemic racism in Nova Scotia.  We are committed to address racism in all its forms.
