Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul PROVINCE OF ST. ELIZABETH ANN SETON

The Daughters of Charity actively bring the mission of Jesus Christ to life by serving their brothers and sisters who live in poverty. Since 1969 when the Province of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton was formed, we have carried on that revered tradition in our ministries. The pioneer Sisters in 1852, 1856, and 1858 answered a calling that brought them to the western edge of North America, settling in northern and southern California to provide a voice for the voiceless. Their challenges were plentiful, but divine grace sustained them as they endured hardships and prospered in the name of those they served. Many of the hospitals, schools, and communities they created still exist and continue to thrive today.
