The Little Sisters of the Poor, an international congregation of Roman Catholic women religious, were founded in 1839 by Saint Jeanne Jugan. With a global presence in over 30 countries, they are dedicated to serving the elderly poor by providing them with a home where they are welcomed as Christ, cared for as family, and accompanied with dignity until their journey to God.
Continuing the legacy of Saint Jeanne Jugan, the Little Sisters of the Poor strive to nurture communities where each individual is valued, promoting the Culture of Life and emphasizing the solidarity of the human family. Through their mission and vision, they offer a place of compassion and support for the neediest elderly, regardless of race or religion.
