We are a women's contemplative community in
the tradition of St. Teresa of Avila and St. John of the Cross. As the
oldest Roman Catholic community of religious women in the original
thirteen states (founded in 1790), Baltimore Carmel is the foundation to
which approximately three-quarters of the monasteries of Discalced
Carmelite Nuns in the U.S. trace their origins.

Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul
(D.C.)
We are to see in our brothers and sisters
who are poor the person of Jesus Christ. These are the words of St.
Vincent de Paul, a humble priest who, together with St. Louise de
Marillac, a noble widow, founded the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent
de Paul in 1633 in France. Two hundred years later, Elizabeth Ann Seton,
an American widow, founded the community in the United States. The
community was the first order of women to live and work among our
brothers and sisters who are poor. Today, the Daughters of Charity have
5 provinces in the US, an international community of over 20,450 women;
continue to seek out those in need. Prayer, community life, and service
to our brothers and sisters who are poor are essential elements of their
lives. For more details check out our website at www.christurgesus.org

The Congregation of the Franciscan Handmaids
of the Most Pure Heart of Mary was founded in Savannah, Georgia in 1916
by the Reverend Ignatius Lissner, SMA and Mother Theodore Williams. It
is one of three historically African American Congregations founded to
serve the African American Community. In 1923 the Congregation was
invited to the Archdiocese of New York to staff Saint Benedict Day
Nursery. The entire Congregation move to New York in 1924 and settled in
Central Harlem. Although the membership and ministry of the Congregation
are open to all peoples the primary thrust of the congregation is still
evangelization in the African American Community. From Motherhouse the
Sisters go forth to bring Good News by their dedication and practice of
the corporal and spiritual works of mercy including teaching, visiting
the sick, giving retreats, catechizing, conducting a food pantry and
directing a health initiative in rural village of Owerri, Nigeria. In
all of their endeavors the Sisters strive to be God's instruments of
Peace by bringing love, pardon, faith, hope light and joy to their
brothers and sisters in this wounded world.
