Daughters of St. Camillus Vocation Cebu Ph "Do not be afraid-His love conquers all fear, from now on you will be a fisher of men". (Cf Lk. 5:10). The Congregation of the Daughters of St. No.16)

Lord Jesus, Light of the world, enlighten those whom You are calling to follow You in the path of service to the sick.Lead them to a generous response. Camillus was founded in Rome, on 2nd February 1892 by Blessed Fr. Luigi Tezza, of the Ministers of the Infirm and St. Giuseppina Vannini, is a living part of the Church. The religious strive for perfect charity and their supreme rule of life is to

follow Christ as announced in the Gospel and expressed in their Constitution. In direct line from St. Camillus De Lellis and of our holy Founders, the Congregation through the Holy Spirit, has been given the gift of witnessing to the ever present love of Christ towards the sick and suffering; of ministering to their spiritual and physical needs, even at the risk of their lives. (Constitution art # 1)
The Church recognized the charism of mercy towards the sick in
St. Camillus De Lellis and his Order- the Ministers of the Infirm. She pointed out that his charism is the source of the Order's own mission and referred to the work of its founder as "a new school of charity". We, the Daughters of St. Camillus, embrace with joy the charism of mercy which the Church recognized as his. We see ourselves as members of this "school of charity". (Constitution art. #10)
Blessed Fr. Luigi Tezza, MI a man under the influence of the Holy Spirit, who understood the signs of the times and remained faithful to the fondamental inspiration of St. Camillus, was chosen by God, to transmit his charism of mercy towards the sick to our Congregation. Since we owe our origin to the Camillian Order, our religious family in imitation of and in accordance with the wishes of the Founders is constitutionally united through our charism to the Ministers of the Infirm. (Constitution art. # 11). Our Institute has as its purpose the complete service of the Sick in the totality of their being. We give the Sick total care in accordance with their needs and our ability and competence. Thus we are ready to work in the field of health care, and in so doing we promote the advancement of mankind and "build up the kingdom of God". (Constitution art. # 67)

THE CHARISM AND SPIRITUALITY OF THE DAUGHTERS
OF ST. CAMILLUS
The specialty of the Camillian charism is to serve the sick even at the risk of our life. It constitutes the essential aspect of our mission. The healing activity of Jesus for the sick occupies a very large and essential part in the Gospel and it becomes a great sign of salvific mission of Jesus, our Messiah. Our mission is inseparably united with the Redemptive mission of Christ. Practicing the works of mercy towards sick and the needy, the Daughters of St. Camillus are continuing the Ministry of Jesus as healer. The Camillian Spirituality is a radical style of life and it requires to identify ourselves with the merciful Christ and become good Samaritans to our neighbor in his or her greatest moment of vulnerability. (Lk 10,30–37) Christ is a doctor and Savior of humanity, portrayed himself as the “Good Samaritan.” From this parable derives one of the two main aspects of our spirituality and it presents us with the mission itself: that we ourselves be Jesus (the Good Samaritan) who looks after the wounded, the sick etc. We are called by Christ to continue His Mission to be actually in the world the human presence of the Merciful Christ. The second aspect of our spirituality is based on the words of Christ in the Gospel, “What you have done to one of these the least on my brethren, you have done to me … …I was sick and you visited me.” (Mt 25, 31– 36) Christ is present in every human person, even when that person does not realize it. The theology of Incarnation is the presence of Christ in the human nature. In response to our special charism we recognize the Crucified Christ in the sick and in the person who suffer. “In this presence of Christ among the sick and in us, who serve in His name we find the basis of our spirituality.” (Const.

MISSION THAT HEALS– PHILIPPINES 🇵🇭

Vocational Ministry – At the Heart of Our Camillian Charism.
Vocational Ministry is the Church's work to educate and accompany adolescents and young people on their journey of faith, so that they can discover their personal vocation and make a free, informed, and responsible choice.
For us, the Daughters of St. Camillus, this mission takes on a profound and concrete meaning: helping young people recognize the call to love and service in the dimension of mercy, care for the sick, and dedication to the least fortunate, according to the spirit of St. Camillus de Lellis and our founders. Through meetings, testimonies, moments of prayer, and service, we accompany the new generations in discovering their vocation, in the joy of self-giving, and in the experience of a God who continues to call, even today, generous hearts ready to "put more heart into our hands." (St. Camillus de Lellis)
In this section of the website, we want to share experiences, articles, and stories of the missions and vocational activities our sisters carry out around the world, alongside young people, to sow hope and discernment.
The Daughters of St. Camillus bring the Gospel of care: visits to the sick, health care training, and listening to the forgotten.
Where it all begins: homes, not classrooms.
Here in the Philippines, we don't hold meetings to "talk about vocation." We enter homes. With the permission of the bishop and parish priest, we knock on the doors of those who are sick, alone, or fragile. And we don't go alone: ​​many young people and lay people walk with us.

Young People on the Front Line

They are often the ones organizing, guiding us in the villages, breaking the silence with a smile. We don't "use" them for the mission: we live the mission with them. Between one visit and the next, friendships are born, real questions are asked, and time is given without calculation.
Because works speak louder
We don't explain what the Camillian charism is: we put it into practice. When you dry a tear, when you listen, when you pray beside a bed, the Gospel is visible. And it is there that many young people say: "I want to live like this."

From Mindanao, for everyone
It happened recently at the Señor Santiago Apostol Parish in Compostela, Davao de Oro, Mindanao. But it's not just a place: it's a way of life. Because wherever there is someone to love, there is room to serve. And when you serve with joy, life itself becomes a testimony.

The Daughters of St. Camillus, (DSC) Cebu, Philippines are celebrating today the 29th Founding Anniversary of its Arrival in the Philippines . 🇵🇭

The Congregation of the Daughters of St. Camillus is an international missionary religious congregation founded in Rome, Italy by Blessed Father Luigi Tezza, M.I. and St. Josephine Vannini, on February 2, 1892. The Congregation is present in over 23 countries all over the world, serving in various apostolate works for the sick, the poor and the suffering – such as the elderly in homes for the aged, the sick and suffering in hospitals, handicapped children, terminally ill patients, home sick visitation and evangelical work in the missions. The sisters run hospitals, homes for the aged, centers for the handicapped and terminally ill, and nursing schools. The Congregation prepares the sisters for their delicate work with adequate health care education and training. Here in the Philippines, they founded their first community in Talamban, Cebu in April 1997 under the approval of His Eminence Ricardo Cardinal Vidal. A growing novitiate community was later followed by the establishment of a home for the aged in 2000. This was in response to a need seen by the congregation for institutions dedicated to the loving care of the elderly. It also provided candidates for training the opportunity to serve the sick and suffering.

The St. Josephine Vannini Home for the Aged is run by the Daughters of St. Camillus. The center is named after their Foundress, St. Josephine Vannini. It was opened in May 2000 at Sitio Tigbao, San Jose Road, Talamban, Cebu City. It is fully equipped and clean, with safe and spacious facilities and rooms to provide decent living for the sick and elderly. The sisters work together with caregivers, staff, students and volunteers to care for the elderly residents of the home. The center takes all the responsibility for the elderly entrusted to our care but with close coordination with their families.

The Home for the Aged was constructed with the help of foreign and local donations. The residential home was initially opened to abandoned and neglected elderly women from very poor families, aged 60 years and above.

The St. Josephine Vannini Home for the Aged Daughters of St. Camillus, Inc. is a non-stock, non-profit charitable corporation, registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission since May 29, 2001. The primary purpose of the corporation is to establish a Home for the Aged.

The Congregation of the Daughters of St. Camillus seeks to witness to the ever present love of Christ towards the sick and suffering. The congregation arrived here in the Philippines in April 1997 with the firm purpose of serving the needs of the sick and suffering. At the time, there were very few institutions providing care to the sick and neglected. Seeing the opportunity to address this need for compassionate and competent care for the sick and aged, as well as to provide candidates for formation a venue to serve in apostolic work.

On April 13, 2022, we celebrated our 25th founding anniversary. We were mandated by the Most Reverend Mother Zelia Andrighetti (Mother General) to go out to the peripheries, and so we opened our mission station in Santa Fe, Bantayan Island, Cebu. There we extend our service to the sick by visiting them in their homes and assisting them with physical and spiritual needs.

Now we continue assisting our sick brothers and sisters in their homes. Thank the Lord that He continues to call women to join us in this mission. 🙏
