Layman donates use of his house to Sisters and Daughters of Charity as base for Social Services.”Sullivan D’Amico, the owner of the white house at 453 Pechin Road, donated its use to Rendu Services, a group of five Catholic religious women who provide medical screenings and other services to the needy.”

“Rendu Services took its name from Sister Rosalie Rendu, a French Daughter of Charity born in 1787. She worked with the poor of Paris for more than 50 years, ministering to their needs through revolution, plague and famine. She encouraged the wealthy to aid their less fortunate brothers and sisters. Rendu Services’ mission statement carries on this work — “with and for the people of Fayette County, especially the poor and the marginalized. We do this, as Sister Rosalie did, in response to the Gospel call to love our neighbor.””
