The Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth emblem contains the pelican, the ancient symbol of divine love.  The pelican is shown feeding its young from its own essence, symbolizing the spirit of sacrifice and love for others.  The outstretched wings are a sign of the all – embracing love of the Sisters of Charity reaching out to the world.
