Our Service Work

We try to live the spirit of Saints Vincent and Louise.

The Ladies of Charity at St. John’s tries to live the spirit of Saints Vincent and Louise. As Catholic women we offer our talents and skills to assist persons who live in poverty and find much joy and happiness in sharing our service and our prayer with each other.

As expressed by St. Vincent: “What’s done out of charity is done for God.” It’s a great happiness for us if we’re found worthy to use what we have for charity’s sake, that is, for God who has given it to us. We should thank and bless HIS infinite goodness to us.
