St. Jeanne Jugan surrendered her entire life to Christ. In a heroic gesture of compassion she discovered Christ in a dying old woman and she gave her a home, a bed, love and the deepest respect. This one selfless act blossomed into a new international religious community, the Little Sisters of the Poor. Browse the links of our national website to discover more about our beautiful and privileged vocation and mission in the Church and the world of giving our lives in our consecrated mission of hospitality to the elderly poor.
