The two Provinces of Daughters of Charity in the United States share an Inter-provincial Seminary which is located in St. Louis, Missouri. On August 22, 2020, in the Provincial Houses in Los Altos Hills, California and St. Louis, Missouri, the Sisters welcomed four new Daughters of Charity who then began their Seminary (Novitiate) on August 23. The four Sisters join one other Seminary Sister, the Seminary Directress and two Sister companions in their local community. During their time in the Seminary they will learn about the Company of the Daughters of Charity in weekly classes. They will also join novices in several other religious congregations in an “inter-community novitiate” where they will have classes in theology, human nature and various other topics such as social justice and the history of the Church.

We ask your prayers for these new Daughters of Charity!
