JOIN THE SCC IN PRAYER
Immigration is not new to the Sisters of Christian Charity. In the early days of our founding, Mother Pauline moved the motherhouse from Paderborn, Germany to Belgium. Many Sisters left their homeland to staff new missions in North and South America. Today we have Sisters who immigrated to the United States from other countries. The question of immigration today has become crucial because of its magnitude – and the most vulnerable are the poor, the undocumented and the victims of human trafficking.
