The 2024 National Assembly of the Ladies of Charity USA

The 2024 National Assembly of the Ladies of Charity USA (LCUSA) took place in St. Louis, Missouri from September 5–7, 2024. The theme of the assembly was  “Committed to the Eucharist, Committed to Those in Need.”

The Ladies o Charity USA got its beginnings in St. Louis so this particular assembly was a special one. The planned trip to the National Shrine of the Miraculous Medal in Perryville MO was a highlight of the trip, not to mention spending time with ladies from all over the USA who share a mission.

The NorthEast Region elected three representatives to the board: Natalie Boone (shown below, center) of the St. John’s University Association was elected as Regional Vice President. Also shown with Natalie are, Fran Simkulet from Binghamton (left) Kathy Roseti of Buffalo (right). Congratulations!

Also, Pat Mulé, (shown far below, left) received a certificate at the LCUSA National Assembly for completing the Spiritual Moderator training. It is so important to understand and live the Vincentian spirit. Congratulations Pat!

Dantuono Elected to AIC Executive Board

March 19, 2017

We are delighted to share the news that our own Mary Ann Dantuono has been elected to the executive board of AIC International, this, as part of the larger AIC#400 . Mary Ann was a “founding” member of the LOC at SJU when she was the executive director for the Vincentian Center for Church and Society at SJU.  She has continually helped form the local chapter and served as Chapter president (2013-2015). After “retiring” from SJU, she still chaired the programs committee of our local chapter while also serving as the National LCUSA President (2015-2017).  We have no doubts that her great talents and energy will be put to good use at the International Level, and we are fortunate to enjoy her leadership, faith and friendship.
