The spirituality of the Daughters of Charity can be summarised in: "Whatever you do to the least of one of my sister's or brother's you do unto me". [Matthew 25:40] We are given to God in community for service.

Given to God
We, as Daughters of Charity through our contemplation of the gospels are called and challenged to love and serve people in need.

“It is in silence that we can hear God speak to our hearts” - St Vincent de Paul

In Community
We live in small communities sharing in the tasks of day to day living, placing our diverse gifts at the service of one another. \we work together to create an environment in which we can celebrate, support, and strengthen each other for service.

“Proceed quietly, pray a great deal and act together” - St Louise de Marillac

For Service
We find Jesus Christ reflected in the heart and life of people who are poor. Our first concern is to make God known to them and find the kingdom of God present among them. We try to serve with compassion, gentleness and respect.

“Since we belong to God let us love God in our neighbour” - St Louise de Marillac

Our Mission Statement is the expression of our commitment to our way of love and service.

The Daughters of Charity live their commitment to God through service to people in need and through working for a more just society.

In the spirit of their founders St Vincent de Paul and St Louise de Marillac they strive to make a difference in the world of people who are poor, disadvantaged or discriminated against.

In partnership with others who share the same values they promote the human dignity, equality and acceptance of each person, respecting the richness and diversity of peoples’ lives. Together they provide comprehensive, caring and collaborative services in a transparent and responsible way.
