Serving God's People

Impelled by the love of Christ, we, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth, offer every loving service in our power to meet the critical needs of God’s people.

A Joy-Filled Community; an Abiding Commitment to the Gospel Values of Justice and Charity

As Sisters of Charity, we have strived to be a constant, reassuring light of joy and compassion for over 165 years. That joy radiates throughout our service to those on the margins of society.

We view our world through the lens of “integral ecology,” a holistic approach that considers the social, economic, political, and environmental dimensions of human life.

Our work touches the unhoused and the immigrant.
The victims of social injustice and human trafficking.
The poor and the poor in spirit.
Those who wish to learn, and those who wish to be well.
Those seeking rest for their soul.
Even creation itself.
All find hands and hearts willing to help here in the SCL Community.

Joy, even in difficult times, comes through our relationship with God. Our deepest desire is to share that joy with you. We invite you to join us on this journey.

Become an Associate of the Sisters of Charity

Associates unite with Sisters and other SCLAs in their search for the fundamental values of Christian life, especially as that life reﬂects a counter culture in today’s society.
