Sisters of Charity of Nazareth

Sister Eva’s Loving Strength

It had been ten years since her last visit, and Mary Elizabeth Miller, SCN, was looking forward to seeing how the ministries in Nepal were growing.

The SCN Mission

We Sisters of Charity of Nazareth are an international Congregation in a multicultural world. Impelled by the love of Christ, in the tradition of Vincent de Paul and the pioneer spirit of Catherine Spalding, we and our Associates are committed to work for justice in solidarity with oppressed peoples, especially the economically poor and women, and to care for the earth. We risk our lives and resources, both personally and corporately, as we engage in diverse ministries in carrying out this mission.
