Effective August 30, 2022: In response to the change in local county COVID rates, all visitors to Caritas Christi, including sisters and staff, who are fully vaccinated and boosted may make the choice to not wear a mask inside of our Motherhouse. Westmoreland County “is in the yellow” again regarding transmission of the COVID virus. We are continually monitoring local COVID-19 rates and adjust our policies accordingly. This is done solely for the safety of our sisters and staff. We appreciate your continued accommodations.

On November 14, 2021, the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill Generalate signed a commitment to join thousands of Catholic Institutions across the globe in the Laudato Si’ Action Platform. Read the full statement here.

On July 9, 2022, Sisters gathered together to celebrate the 2022 Jubilarians. See the full list of Jubilarians, and access past years.

The Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill, trusting in the providence of God, find ourselves at a graced crossroads. The United States Province affirms the 2019 General Chapter Statement, and will:

  • Intensify, for the sake of the apostolate, our efforts to grow in the knowledge and love of Jesus Christ through fidelity to contemplative prayer, meditation on sacred scripture and spiritual reading (Constitutions, Article 34).
  • Explore ways to enable all Sisters in the United States Province to embrace the physical, spiritual, psychological, and intellectual challenges of the next five years.
  • Develop strategic actions for education and advocacy to address the critical needs of poor and vulnerable populations.
  • Focus on causes and effects of the racial divide and the exploitation of the environment on the whole of creation.
  • Strengthen and extend collaborative partnerships, particularly with those organizations and persons that share the Vincentian-Setonian charism, most importantly the Sisters of Charity Federation.
