New York Sisters of Charity won’t take new members, signaling end of congregation | Catholic News Agency
The Sisters of Charity of New York, founded in 1846, announced that they will no longer take new members, describing their congregation as on “a path to completion.”
“The Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul of New York will no longer work toward finding nor accepting new members to our congregation in the United States,” the congregation said in an April 27 statement.
In a unanimous vote at their 2023 general assembly, the sisters decided to adopt the recommendations of the congregation’s executive council.
The delegates approved the recommendation to affirm that the New York sisters “continue to live our mission to the fullest, while acknowledging that we are on a path to completion.”
“The decision was not an easy one,” said the congregation, …More
Sisters of Charity will not accept any new vocation from now on.
Good Riddance. Before the filth of Vatican II, they were wonderful sisters, in 1963 1,500 strong, staffinf dozens in elementary schools in the NYC Archdiocese, Brooklyn Diocese, and multiple others, not to mention foreign missions. They also staffed at least 2 huge major hospitals in the metropolitan NYC area, and nursing homes, as well as orphanages. The movie "Doubt" with Meryl Streep and Amy Adams was about their congregation.
Like mostly all USA religious Orders of sisters, they went radical femminist, dissenting. They discarded their very simple and plain beautiful habit....which was exactly the same worn by the great Saint Elizabeth Ann Bailey Seton, who originally founded all USA Sisters of CHarity in the very early 19th century in Baltimore.
These nuns went from over 1,500 with a median age of about 37, to today at about 110 and a median age of about 82. They have not had any vocations for at least 30 years.
Although it is a natural reaction to feel saddness at this news, this Order, and all congregations of sisters like it both in USA and elsewhere DESERVE to go extinct. They DESERVE to have no vocations. They have betrayed the Roman Catholic Church, its traditions and beliefs, their own traditions and those of all the good sisters who went before them pre-Vatican II, and they have betrayed the Catholic faithful who trusted them.
It may sound nasty, but I am very happy that this Order is coming to this end.....all the radical habitless liberal dissidents USA and other Orders (even those similar Orders in places like India), will suffer the same fate.
Shed no tears for these people. THey have destroyed their own Orders by conscious choice and the radical agenda of femminism, dissent, and promotion of homosexuality, gay blessings, women priests, TRANS, and other garbage totally contrary to the teachings and traditions of the Church.
They represent the "Church of Pope Francis" which itself is dying out. They have come to their end, and it is deserved.
On the other hand, the Lord is already blessing the many new traditional/traditionalist Orders of sisters being founded in the USA and elsewhere with vocations. They will slowly step in to replace these people.
The demise of these radical liberal Orders is no loss to the Catholic Church. Faithful Catholics I am sure are happy to see the likes of them go.
Wait! Is that Mother Earth?
HAHAHAHA!!! Loser habitless dissident nuns. They ALL look ready for nursing homes.
"Be unfruitful and walk the path of completion". My Bible must be an expurgated version! How pathetic a path.
Thanks for posting, friend. A very telling sign in the video is that (by my count) I see only two of the sisters who were willing to wear their habit. A good working definition of religious attire: "an outward manifestation of one's vocation".
"who were willing to wear their habit" A simple veil on the head of a nun wearing street clothes is not a habit.
@Kenjiro M. Yoshimori At least, her veil identified her instantly as a member of a religious order with a fair ratio of hair covering, and not half of a veil on the back of the head. Anyhow, beyond garments, the essential is to be holy in evey aspects of our life. Therefore, the most visible problematic element in this video was to receive the Blessed Sacrament in the hands.
