In Memoriam
Our Mission
We are an apostolic community of women, baptized in Christ and vowed to continue the mission of God’s Church. In the Spirit of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Elizabeth Seton, the congregation conceives its purpose to be an active ministry on behalf of the Kingdom.
Our service is informed by Gospel values, responsive to the needs of a changing world, guided by the prudent use of available resources, respectful of human dignity, protective of human rights, devoted especially to the poor and oppressed, supported by the common life, animated by prayer, rooted in faith, and performed in humility, simplicity, and charity.
Together Forward
The history of the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill reflects a spirit of courage founded upon a strong faith and trust in God’s providence. Impelled by that spirit, our congregation looks to the future with hope and renewed dedication to the mission of Christ and the Church.
In our pursuit of change, we embrace the Seton coat of arms motto: Hazard Yet Forward. Elizabeth consistently encouraged her sisters to stay faithful and forge ahead, even in the face of uncertainty.
