The Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul, addressing root causes of poverty & a voice for justice since 1861. www.wpcweb.org

Vincent de Paul are an apostolic congregation of vowed women religious called to be channels of God’s Providence in the world through compassionate service in response to the needs of the times. In accordance with our mission statement, we seek to empower others, especially the poor and oppressed, to achieve a quality of life in keeping with their human dignity. We also strive to be prophetic leaders in our Church and in society. Relying on the Providence of God which we are called to proclaim, the Sisters of Providence of St. Vincent de Paul are gifted with a charism of compassionate caring for God’s people, especially the most destitute, manifested by service given in a spirit of humility, simplicity and charity. As we serve with compassion and walk in hope, we trust in the power, the movement and the mystery of Providence in all things. We are a member of the Women of Providence in Collaboration which is an association of religious congregations across the U.S. and Canada, bearing the name and charism of PROVIDENCE.
