Daughters of Charity

St. Louise de Marillac was a pioneer social worker, educator, and advocate. Her projects were implemented according to surprisingly modern standards of care and were the basis for other developments in their respective fields.

In this presentation, adapted from an article by Fr. Jean-Pierre Renouard, C.M., we discover six important lessons we can learn from the example of Blessed Rosalie Rendu

Blessed Giuseppina Nicoli, an Italian Daughter of Charity, is known for her work with poor children; through her trust and friendship, “she guided them to find the Lord … with the gentleness of a loving mother”.

Louise de Marillac, awakened by her faith in a God who takes the side of the poor, sees the person in distress and takes action.
