The Little Sisters of the Poor are an international congregation of Roman Catholic religious women founded in 1839 by St. Jeanne Jugan. Together with a diverse network of collaborators, they serve the elderly poor in over 30 countries around the world. Their mission is to offer the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to Himself. The Little Sisters of the Poor will make their appeal in our parish grouping on the weekend of February 29th/March 1st. Please be as generous as your budget allows.
