Vincentian Family

The Bhatteghari Drinking Water Project, implemented by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth and partners, addressed critical water shortages for a landslide-displaced community in Nepal, culminating in a formal handover to local authorities in November. The project, celebrated with cultural performances and community pledges, aims to foster sustainable income generation, environmental conservation, and poverty alleviation in the region.

Fr. Dan Thiess, C.M., has spent most of his time in ministry working directly with the poor. In this video, he talks about how he came to choose the path of a Vincentian priest and about how Jesus is present in the poor.

“Closeness, compassion and tenderness: Dear Sisters, while I propose to you again what the Holy Father has told us, at the end of the General Chapter 2021, I would like to invite every Sister of Charity, in whatever territorial reality she lives, to celebrate this Holy Year of Hope with these three attitudes”. Thus writes the Superior General Mother Maria Rosa in her Circular on the occasion of the beginning of the Jubilee Year 2025.

On Thursday 28 November 2024, the prize was awarded posthumously by Mr Amin Maalouf, Permanent Secretary of the Académie Française, to Sister Joany Ravaoary, a Daughter of Charity of the Province of Madagascar.
