Sisters of Charity

After a four-month discernment process, the Search Committee of the Sisters of Charity Federation Board has completed its work. I am delighted to announce the appointment of Maureen Reiser as the fourth Executive Director of the Federation.

Sister Lucica helps us open our hearts to young people, the elderly, families, men and women in serious existential hardship, in response to the appeal of the bishop of Timișoara, a diocese on the borders with Serbia and Hungary.

Mother Aloysia Lowe (1835-1889) was a pioneering leader who established the Sisters of Charity of Seton Hill, focusing on education, healthcare, and service to the poor in Pennsylvania. Her legacy endures through Seton Hill University and the continued work of the Sisters of Charity, who carry on her mission of faith, charity, and community service.

Sister Joetta Venneman and Spalding Hurst attended the Civil Society Forum at the United Nations, joining other Sisters of Charity Federation members to discuss social justice and communication strategies. Their participation highlighted the commitment of the organization to systemic change, global advocacy, and advancing the UN’s social development goals.
