The Future of Charity – young Charity Federation bloggers – Meet the Bloggers, all members of congregations across the Sisters of Charity Federation are contributors to the Future of Charity Blog.

From their site “We welcome you to the Future of Charity blog!  You might be wondering a few things.  Who are “we,” and what is the Future of Charity?

We are younger, newer vowed members or women in formation with religious congregations from the Sisters of Charity Federation.  This Federation is comprised of 12 unique congregations who recognize their particular character and spirit in the charism of the tradition of Charity founded by St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.  To learn more, see the “Meet the Bloggers” and “Sisters of Charity Federation” tabs.”
