“Bringing Good News to the poor”
The Daughters of Charity are a Catholic organisation founded by St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac in France in the 1600's. Both were deeply moved by the extreme poverty prevalent in France during this time, and accordingly made it their goal to alleviate suffering and try to lift people out of poverty.
