The Sisters of Charity were founded by Saint Elizabeth
Ann Seton, in the spirit of Saint Vincent de Paul and Saint Louise de
Marillac, in Emmitsburg, Maryland, in 1809. In 1859 Mother Mary Xavier
Mehegan founded the New Jersey community known as the Sisters of Charity of
Saint Elizabeth.
Today the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth are engaged in over 100
education, health care, pastoral and social service ministries in 14 New
Jersey counties and 18 states, and in the U.S. Virgin Islands, El Salvador,
Central America and Haiti, West Indies. The Congregation currently numbers
440 vowed members. The Seton Associate relationship has 250 affiliated lay
and religious women and men.
