Liturgy

Celebrate the 175th Anniversary of the Sisters of Charity

Next month The Sisters of Charity Halifax will celebrate 175 years of service.

To recognize and offer gratitude for their ministry there will be a Liturgy of Thanksgiving on Saturday, May 11 at 12:15pm at Saint Mary’s Cathedral Basilica.  Archbishop Dunn presiding. A reception will follow.  All are welcome!

On May 11, 1849 four sisters from the New York Sisters of Charity arrived in Halifax  and began their ministry at Saint Mary’s School and Convent on Barrington Street.  As they served the people of Halifax at the time, young women expressed interest in ministry wanted to join the religious community. This resulted in the group becoming an independent Congregation with their own Motherhouse and Novitiate in 1856 and the Sisters of Charity of Halifax came into being. As their ministry to teach and care for children grew so did their impact and service to the larger community

locally, nationally, and internationally.  To learn more about the Sisters of Charity visit: https://schalifax.ca/175years/
