Our Ministries
As Daughters of Charity, our ministry is to those who are poor—wherever they are and whatever their needs. Like our founders, we are inventive and utilize an array of ministries to help the most vulnerable members of our society.
Today we are needed to serve victims of hunger, homelessness, substance
abuse, broken families, war, and persons living with AIDS. Tomorrow,
who knows? Wherever the need arises, we will respond with love and service.
