SCIC Association

Association with the Sisters of Charity of the Immaculate Conception is a journey of sharing the gift of the common call to serve the needs of our world wherever we are.

Associates are drawn to the spirit and traditions of St. Vincent de Paul … the charism of charity and love for the poor. They grow in this charism of charity as lived out in the life and witness of Honoria Conway and our founding women.

Together we...

• come to a deeper understanding of charity and justice
• share and study faith,culture,needs, and signs of the time
• meet for prayer,workshops,retreats,social gatherings, and congregational events

Our Spirituality :

Our Associate relationship arises out of a common call to be followers of Jesus, and a common attraction to the spirit in which St.Vincent de Paul and Honoria Conway lived the Gospel. Special sensitivity to compassionate love for all, especially the poor, is at the heart of our spirituality.

The Charity Of Christ Urges Us.......

Becoming an Associate:

• the person inquiring into association participates in a process connecting his / her life ...with the spirit of the congregation through story telling, reflection, and sharing
• over a period of time, mutual discernment affirms a personal call and commitment to ...this relationship with the congregation
• the person who wishes to become an associate requests to formalize the relationship ...with a commitment.

SCIC Associates speak...

"Becoming an Associate was the beginning of a new way of life for me. I have come to know St.Vincent de Paul and Honoria Conway.

The invitation to join with the Sisters of Charity I.C. to serve the poor and less fortunate has allowed me to grow spiritually, to share the gifts I have received and to help the community live its mission. "I see this as a personal response to my vocation as a Christian" ( October 2000)

"To belong to an association or group...who have the same interests and goals is something to cherish and appreciate. With the Sisters of Charity I.C. I can share personal experiences in my life and I grow spiritually.I feel privileged to be an Associate and I desire to live the vision and charism of this congregation in my daily life."
