A little over 170 years ago, on February 24, 1849, Mother Pauline received a document granting corporation rights to the Sisters of Christian Charity. Exactly 170 years ago, on August 21, 1849, Mother Pauline and Sisters Maria, Mathilde and Elisabeth became the first four Sisters of Christian Charity. This Congregation has spread from Germany to North America, South America and the Philippines.
As we gratefully celebrate 170 years of service to God by "giving Christ's love to everyone in cheerful, wholehearted service" (
SCC Charism), we pray for the grace to persevere in responding to the needs of the "least" of our brothers and sisters.
Blessed Pauline, we pray to you, lead us to God!
