We appreciate your cooperation. We are doing everything we can to keep our Sisters healthy. We pray for your health and well-being too. God bless you and protect you! -
Welcome to the Sisters of Christian Charity
Our principal mission is to give witness to Christ through our consecrated life lived in community. As an active apostolic congregation, we embrace the mission entrusted to us by Christ: to go out to all the world and bring the good news - love, justice, peace.
"It is a great grace that God should permit us to assist
in the spread of his kingdom."
-- Blessed Pauline -
Our SCC logo consists of the Christian monogram of a chi (X) and a rho (P). These are the first two letters of the Greek word, Khristos, or Christ. The SCC (Sisters of Christian Charity) forms one side of the X. This symbol reflects the Sisters as living together in Christ for the mission of Christlike love. It can be worn on a chain or as a pin. -
