Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati
The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati have invited women and men to share in their mission and spirit through their Associate program since 1973 — one of the longest-running Associate programs in the United States. Today, more than 200 Associates reside throughout
the country, living the motto of their founder, Elizabeth Ann Seton: “The Charity of Christ Urges Us.”
ABOUT THEIR ASSOCIATE COMMUNITY
Associates in Mission are women and men, young and old, married, single, widowed, divorced, and ordained, who share in the mission and spirit of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati. Associates seek to express a spirituality of attending to God in prayer, in each
other, and wherever God’s love is made visible. They commit to living the virtues of humility, simplicity, and charity that form the foundation of the community’s spirituality.
Associates commit to a relationship centered upon living and spreading the Gospel message, serving the spiritual and corporal needs of God’s people, and sharing friendship, faith, and action with the community. Associates and Sisters offer one another mutually enriching relationships with the opportunity to share faith and the awareness of how the Gospel impacts their lives and their world.
Associate Mission Statement:
We Associates of the Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati are women and men striving to live the Gospel values. Called by God, we choose to be in mutual relationship with the Sisters of Charity guided by their Mission Statement. We commit ourselves to participate in this mission through our individual life situations.
