As Little Sisters of the Poor, we carry out our mission in response to the call of Christ, who consecrates us through the vows of chastity, poverty, obedience and, our fourth vow, hospitality.

In continuing the charism of our Mother Jeanne Jugan, we desire that our hospitaller mission of humble service to our elderly brothers and sisters be a witness of the compassionate love and mercy of God.

Daily we hear Jeanne Jugan reminding us,
"Never forget that the poor are Our Lord"
These words of Jeanne Jugan have remained alive through the years. Today, we, her daughters, continue to make them our own.

In the Footsteps of Jeanne Jugan
We are Little Sisters of the Poor, journeying towards the Kingdom of God in the footsteps of Blessed Jeanne Jugan. We invite you to join us along the way.

Could God be calling you to serve him as a Little Sister, or to contribute your time, talents or resources to our mission of hospitality to the aged poor?
