Welcome

The Sisters of Charity of Australia are a group of women religious who have been serving the community throughout Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria and Tasmania since 1838. Within the mission of the Catholic Church, we are committed especially to service of the poor and disadvantaged, and have a commitment to social justice and to the environment.

We also respond to invitations to serve in overseas mission wherever it is possible. When a new need is perceived, we endeavour to respond, making ourselves useful and constantly seeking creative ways to help those in need. To many people the Sisters of Charity provide a
beacon of hope in times of uncertainty.

Our ministry in today's world draws strength from a spirituality based on the Christian scriptures and an Ignatian tradition and that of our Congregation, dating back to our founder, Mary Aikenhead.

Our Congregational charism is "to bring to each person the love, the tenderness and concern of Christ for the poor, seeing Christ in everyone we serve". Constitutions: Religious Sisters of Charity of Australia.
