Little Sisters of the Poor
Organization Mission:
LITTLE SISTERS OF THE POOR MISSION, VISION and VALUES The Little Sisters of the Poor are an international congregation of Roman Catholic women religious founded in 1839 by Saint Jeanne Jugan. Together with a diverse network of collaborators, we serve the elderly poor in over 30 countries around the world.
We will be completing the second phase of various upgrades and renovations to our Home. The main purpose of this project is to enhance the caring environment that permits our Residents to achieve their highest level of life satisfaction for as long as possible.
About Little Sisters of the Poor
Our VISION is to contribute to the Culture of Life by nurturing communities where each person is valued, the solidarity of the human family and the wisdom of age are celebrated, and the compassionate love of Christ is shared with all.
