Sisters of Charity of Our Lady, Mother of the Church

The Sisters of Charity of Our Lady Mother of the Church is an active/contemplative institute of pontifical right. Our motto: “To Jesus through Mary,” signifies our prayer and devotion to the Immaculate Heart of Mary. We live our vowed life in community with the Eucharist at the heart of our varied apostolates. Jesus in the Eucharist is the center of our lives. He is the strength that supports us in our lives together as sisters in community, in our diverse works of charity, in our labors for souls in His Church. As brides of Christ we embrace the evangelical counsels and the message of the Gospel, with the two-fold aim of personal sanctification while working for the salvation of souls. In addition to the vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, we take a fourth vow having as its object continual availability to devote ourselves to the works of charity. We serve others through apostolates of education, caring for the sick, the aging and the poor, wherever there is a need.

We are located in the Archdiocese of Hartford, Connecticut; Diocese of Norwich, Connecticut; Archdiocese of St. Paul, Minnesota; and the Diocese of Madison, Wisconsin.
