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.

The many women who are the Sisters of Charity bring a variety of gifts to the community and the mission of boundless charity. Some bring the gift of healing as they compassionately meet physical and spiritual needs. Some bring the gift of teaching as they nurture children and spark the love of learning. The list of gifts goes on and on...
MEET OUR SISTERS
Sister Regina Bernard
McCartney, SC
These days, Sister Regina Bernard McCartney’s presence is evident in the Motherhouse of the Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth in the same way it was felt in the eight schools and parishes where she ministered. Wherever she goes, Sister Regina brings music, kindness, and a gentle reflection of God’s love and goodness.
Please remember our deceased sisters, and all who have been called home by God. Grant them eternal rest, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed
Rest in your peace. Amen
