Ladies of Charity

[mrsdizzyd]

Are there any Ladies of Charity on CAF that might be willing to talk with me about your organization either in this thread or via PM?

I have lots of questions.

In particular, I’d like to know about your experiences. How did you get involved, what is your charitable activity, do you feel Vincentian spirituality has changed you?

Also, are you a member of an association or are you an individual? Did you start a new chapter? Are you a part of a new chapter? What were your experiences? How much support does the US LOC offer individual members?

Like I said, I have lots of questions. There isn’t an association near me, so I don’t have anyone local to ask these question.

Thank you and God bless.

Here’s the website for the US:

Ladies of Charity USA (LCUSA)

There are also St. Vincent Conferences and the Confraternity of Charity. The Vincentian family tree is huge, so it might be helpful to do some research.

Blessings,

There aren’t any conferences or confraternities in my area either. At least not that I can find.

My new congregation has its own “third order”. We are entirely online right now, but I’ve noticed some interest here locally, so hopefully that will take off sometime. If you can’t find anything local to yourself, we just started so you’d be welcome.
