Are you a young lay woman between the ages of 18 & 30? Would you like to make a difference in the lives of the poor in New York City? Then our Charity in the City program may be for you. It’s a two week outreach ministry of the Sisters of Charity of New York, that lets you participate in the Mission of Charity to those in need. Along with some Sisters and their Colleagues, you’ll have opportunities for hands-on experiences of service, to reflect together on justice implications and strategies for change, and to share in community and prayer.

No experience needed — just a desire to help and a willingness to live simply. During the time of service, volunteers get a chance to catch some of the spirit and sites of Elizabeth Seton’s New York.

The program will run again in the Summer of 2012. This is our fifth year. 2012 dates will be posted soon.

For more information, contact Sr. Mary Lou McGrath, SC, 718.549.9200 x 244 or email: mlmcgrath@scny.org
