The Little Sisters of the Poor offer needy elderly persons total quality care in a loving, supportive Home where they are welcomed as family and cared for with dignity and respect until death. Believing that to accompany the elderly on their final journey is the greatest expression of their vow of hospitality, the Little Sisters humbly and prayerfully devote their lives to fulfilling this most sacred aspect of Our Lord's mission of salvation.

Founded in Switzerland in 1834 by Maria Anna Brunner, we are an active apostolic congregation devoted to Eucharistic prayer and motivated by the redeeming love of Jesus. Empowered by Eucharist, we minister where the needs of the time call us. Our Sisters minister in the United States, Chile and Guatemala. We rely on the special gifts and talents of each of our Sisters to advocate for justice; provide voices for the unheard, hope to the hopeless, and light to those living in darkness.

The Sisters of Loretto (Loretto Community) are a Catholic religious community that “work for justice and act for peace.” They support education, elder care and healthcare, run retreat and heritage-center programs at their Motherhouse in Nerinx, and pursue social-justice priorities including care for the earth, immigration justice, and anti-nuclear advocacy.

Mission in the Third Millennium challenges Maryknoll Sisters to respond as women yearning for authentic justice and reconciliation in the midst of a fractured and divided world.  Called to reflect God's compassionate and inclusive love, we are sent to walk with peoples of many lands, crossing the boundaries of culture, race and religious beliefs.     Maryknoll Sisters live the gospel values through a variety of ministries. We are engaged in evangelization, pastoral work, education and social welfare, medicine, communications, agriculture and science.  We serve the poor wherever we find them: in their homes, in prisons, in hospitals, in refugee camps, and on the streets.     Some of us work with youth groups, women and the elderly, and in the arts and communications.  Others promote and participate in ecumenical and interfaith dialogue.  Often we find ourselves networking with national and international non‑governmental organizations.     Wherever we are and in whatever we do, we strive to participate effectively in the mission presence and activity of the Universal Church so that God's Reign of peace, justice and love may be proclaimed and witnessed to throughout the world.  Mission means seeding hope wherever we are.

We raise money to support local initiatives addressing HIV/AIDS and homelessness, especially as these two issues affect the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and two-spirited communities. We will also support other initiatives that address identified needs in the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgendered and two-spirited communities, especially if the initiative addresses emerging needs that other, more traditional funders are not like to fund.

Continuing the work of Saint Jeanne Jugan, our Mission is to offer the neediest elderly of every race and religion a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to himself.
