Welcome to the website of the Sisters of the Divine Compassion, founded in New York City in 1886 and  primarily located in this metropolitan area.   We are a religious community of vowed members, lay associates and partners committed “to proclaim and witness by our lives and service the Compassionate Presence of God in our world.” 

Our commitment to compassion in the 21^st century challenges us to attend to:

·         The suffering of others, wherever we find it

·         The empowerment of women and children

·         The needs of the poor and marginalized

·         A life of prayer and continued spiritual growth

·         Alternatives to violence, including the violence done to the earth

·         The creation of community

Our website is a chance for you to get to know us and the many faces of our mission of compassion.  Take a look.  We welcome your interest and contact with us.
