‘A thousand lifetimes of service’
From humble beginnings when four of their Sisters arrived in Halifax from New York in the mid-19th century, the Sisters of Charity Halifax are set to mark 175 years of service on May 11.
The Sisters of Charity Halifax have been serving its community’s needs in various ways since the original Sisters arrived in the Nova Scotia capital in 1849. The religious community is using this milestone to acknowledge that today’s Sisters continue to stand on the shoulders of 2,500+ professed Sisters who came before and continue to be with them now.
