Little Sisters of Jesus and Mary
Salisbury, Md
We are the Little Sisters of Jesus and Mary, a vowed community of Catholic women religious. We introduce ourselves as “Little Sisters,” for that is what we strive to be. Aware of the awesome blessing of being beloved members of God’s family, our mission is TO LOVE.
Our hope is that God’s goodness be experienced through our good works, that all may want to belong to our Christian family, and grow closer to God and one another day by day. Our life is characterized by simplicity, love for the poor, universal charity, faithfulness to the Gospel, and a desire to “Cry the Gospel” with our lives. We find the support we need through daily Mass, liturgical prayer, contemplation, adoration of the Eucharist, and life in community.
Little Sisters of Jesus Christ
Motherhouse, India USA Wilmington, Delaware
The Congregation of the Little Sisters of Jesus Christ (LSJC) was founded by Little Sister Nirmala Mary Panamthanam in the Diocese of Eluru, Andhra Pradesh,India. We embrace the charism of proclaiming the Gospel and living the life of Jesus in the Nazareth Way, as our Mother Foundress inherited it from St. Charles de Foucauld. Through our life and ministry, we actively assist the local Church.
Our charism calls us to embrace Littleness and Sisterliness, following the example of Jesus of Nazareth, who, in his humility and simplicity, reached out to everyone in love and service.
Lay Fraternity
USA & Canadá, U.K.
The Lay fraternities are made up of small local groups. To ensure liaison and support between these local groups each country has a national team.
Each country is organized according to its national needs and characteristics, always remaining faithful to the spirit of Brother Charles and in liaison with the European and International teams.
The fraternity is aware of and feels a duty to those who, because of their particular circumstances, are unable to attend regular meetings but wish to follow the way of life and spirituality of Brother Charles’ family. Each continent should have a regional organization thus encouraging international discussion and support.
