We are sorry that we cannot invite you to Caritas Christi for the annual Advent Visit and Solemn Vespers this year because of the pandemic. Instead, we will offer you spiritual food for thought throughout the Advent season. For each of the four weeks of Advent, a Sister of Charity will share a reflection.
Know that you will be in our prayers throughout these holy days of preparation for Christmas. We look forward to the day when we can safely gather again at Caritas Christi.
Because of the coronavirus pandemic, Caritas Christi and the administrative offices of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill at DePaul Center are closed to the public until further notice. The decision to reopen will follow the direction of Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf and the staged reopening of Pennsylvania.

UPDATE: OCTOBER 20, 2020, Our nursing staff is quite concerned about the increase of Covid-19 cases in Westmoreland County. On October 15th there were 148 new cases and 33 admissions to Westmoreland Hospital. Due to this increase and to be pro-active to safeguard our sisters, personal visitation will not be permitted at Caritas Christi and the complex until further notice.

Evermore conscious of our internationality, we seek harmony in every dimension of our lives.
By living vibrant compassionate community, we witness God’s covenantal fidelity.
Through deep listening to our charism, we call ourselves to new ventures and risk-taking.
