The Little Sisters of the Poor is an international congregation of Roman Catholic women religious founded in 1839 by Saint Jeanne Jugan. With a diverse network of collaborators, they serve the elderly poor in over 30 countries around the world, offering them a home where they will be welcomed as Christ, cared for as family, and accompanied with dignity until God calls them to himself.
Their mission is to contribute to the Culture of Life by nurturing communities where each person is valued and the solidarity of the human family is fostered. Through their dedication and commitment, the Little Sisters of the Poor strive to create a compassionate and supportive environment for the neediest elderly, regardless of their race or religion.
