We write letters and send emails to those elected to legislative offices in our cities, our state and our country. We collaborate with Church leaders, pastors and members of our local parishes in sharing the good news and praying together with them.
We take part in socially responsible investing so that the needs of poor people are considered as we choose where to place our modest investments.
As sponsors of several hospitals and health related institutions, we partner with our lay colleagues to provide quality care for today’s needy immigrants, the homeless, the poor, children and uninsured people.
We invite our family members, friends and colleagues with financial resources to assist us in supporting various ministries by their generosity with their talent, and their time and resources.

From its humble beginnings in the Greenwich Village area of Manhattan in 1849, St. Vincent's Hospital and Medical Center in Manhattan has grown to a renowned modern medical center with new technology, allowing its dedicated staff to respond to emerging health needs. The extensive list of services offered includes nursing homes, hospice services, and home health care. In the late 1990s, the Sisters of Charity were instrumental in bringing about the merger of eight hospitals located in Brooklyn, Queens, Manhattan, Staten Island, and Westchester. This newly created corporation is now known as Saint Vincent Catholic Medical Centers of New York, the region's largest Catholic health care provider.
The Sisters are deeply saddened by the announced closing of their first ministry »
