Little Sisters of the Poor celebrates 150 years of helping the elderly
CHICAGO — The Little Sisters of the Poor are committed to caring for the elderly. It is their vocation, and has been for 150 years. The nuns have comforted countless seniors who spend their sunset years at St. Mary’s Home, surrounded by love.
“Our mission really is to take care of the elderly and poor of any race, color, creed, and to let them know that they are loved. They are important,” Mother Superior said.
“Just their stories alone, of how they made it through life, are such an encouragement to each of us,” Sister Josephine said. “And so we inherit a lot more than we give.”
