Sisters of Charity Federation in the Vincentian-Setonian Tradition
- Sisters of Charity Federation in the Vincentian-Setonian Tradition
The Sisters of Charity Federation in the Vincentian-Setonian Tradition is an organization of 13 congregations of religious women in the Catholic Church who trace their lineage to Saint Elizabeth Seton, Saint Vincent de Paul and Saint Louise de Marillac.
It was founded in 1947, in part to advocate Seton's canonization, but has since expanded its role. For instance, it serves as an advocate for the sisters' concern for the poor at the Economic and Social Council of the United Nations.
The federation of Sisters of Charity includes:
* Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul (France; five provinces in U.S.)
* Sisters of Charity of New York (New York City)
* Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth (Kansas)
* Sisters of Charity of Nazareth (Kentucky)
* Sisters of Charity of St. Elizabeth (Convent Station, New Jersey)
* Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill (Pennsylvania)
* Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Mercy (South Carolina)
* Sisters of Charity of the Immaculate Conception (St. John, New Brunswick, Canada)
* Sisters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul - Halifax (Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada)
* Vincentian Sisters of Charity (Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania)
