Daughters of Charity - Social Justice

The Gospel of Jesus Christ calls us
to the practice of justice.

Vincent de Paul calls us to live the evangelical spirit of Jesus Christ, particularly in the practice of humility, simplicity and charity in our ministry to persons living in poverty.

Our Constitution describes our chosen path:

The simplicity that leads them directly to God helps them:

to seek and love the truth and defend it in situations of injustice

to be transparent, authentic, and consistent in their words and in the way they live

(C.18)

The five US provinces of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul designate the Advocacy and Social Justice Committee (ASJC) which holds as its' Mission Statement:

We promote social justice as central to all
Daughter of Charity ministry. We move together
with persons who are poor and marginalized from
reflection to advocacy for systemic change.

ASJC provides education and advocacy alerts around issues of:

healthcare reform
comprehensive immigration reform
human trafficking
access to food
access to water

We hope you will explore this section to learn more about the many and varied issues that should concern us all and that we are most passionate about.
