"The Sisters of Charity community can be compared to a tapestry having many threads which together represents the common good. These threads are the lives of these faith-filled women and men. Their lives exemplify the charism, mission and vision statement of the community. Interwoven throughout are the main threads of humility, simplicity and charity. Thse are the gifts of the founders. I am drawn to the community by its openness to the Spirit at this time in history, seeking to do God's will."

"For as long as I can recall, I have been seeking ways to deepen my faith and grow spiritually. I was drawn to the Sisters of Charity and Associates by their work and witness. They are examples of living the charism of humility, simplicity and charity. As visionaries, they model social justice, respect for the environment, and solidarity with the poor. Indeed, they live the vision statement which calls to my life right now."

"The Sisters of Charity have been there for me when I needed an education, jobs while in school and for support in a new relationship. I have seen and experienced their love for God and for God's creation. I have seen them continue to give all they can for those in need. They continue to help provide focus and direction in my life by serving as conduits for the Holy Spirit. Now it is time for me to be there for them and with them."

 

Jasmine Coatney
"I am inspired not only by the Sisters and Associates today, but also by their founders. I am especially drawn to Saint Elizabeth Seton, who with her spirit, devotion, compassion and love set an example for each and everyone of us to follow. Even after the many tragedies that took place in her life her faith never wavered and her desire to help others always took precedence in her life. She is truly someone for all of us, not only as Sisters and Associates, but as Christians, to model ourselves after!"
