Daughters of Charity

Where we are

We are women who have responded to the Call of Christ to live out our baptismal commitment by reaching out in His name to the people at the margins of our society. With the help and collaboration of many others we contribute to the provision of Child and Family Services, Pre-Schools, Education, Specialised Services for Young People, Services for People with Intellectual Disability, Health Care Services, Services for Older People, Services in Parishes, Family Resource Centres, Services for People who are Homeless, Vincentian Partnership Programmes, Mission Outreaches, Marian Services, Services to the wider Community and Provincial Administration.

MINISTRIES

The Daughters of Charity have provided services to persons with intellectual disability in Ireland for over a century. Today these services are based in Dublin, Limerick and Tipperary and include community-based residential services...

MISSIONS

The Daughters of Charity are present in 21 African Countries. The Irish Sisters have worked in Nigeria and Ethiopia since the early 1960’s and now the young Nigerian Sisters have branched out to Ghana and Burkina Faso giving us contacts in all these mission areas...

“When you leave prayer and Holy Mass to serve those in need, you are losing nothing, because serving those in need is going to God and you should see God in them.”
St Vincent
“Say little, do much”
St Vincent
“Good works are often spoiled by moving too quickly.”
St Vincent
“If we want to please our good God, we must not look so much to what we want to do, but to what He wants us to do.”
St Louise
“Do not believe that things will always be as they are now.”
St Louise
“You are well aware that changes are always difficult, and that it takes time to learn new ways of serving skilfully and well.”
St Louise
“If God is the centre of your life, no words will be needed. Your mere presence will touch their hearts.”
St Vincent
“God makes use of the humblest instruments for the extraordinary operation of His grace.”
St Vincent
“Charity is not charity if not accompanied by justice.”
St Vincent
“The least esteemed by men are perhaps the best loved by God.”
St Louise
“The greater the work the more important it is to establish it on a solid foundation. Thus it will not only be more perfect, it will also be more lasting.”
St Louise
“Speak to God with great simplicity and familiarity, God only wants our hearts.”
St Louise

On this day of the Annunciation, at the feet of the Blessed Virgin, in the Chapel of Apparitions in Paris, I accompany all the Daughters of Charity in the Renewal of Vows. It is a very special day, where each one returns, like Mary, to say YES to the Lord. I thank Jesus for the generous dedication, for the service and commitment. I invite each one of you to unite in prayer with the Sisters, to pray for them and to accompany their daily commitment so that this YES may be full and lasting. Happy Annunciation Day. ...
