Vocations

Are you looking for a deeper prayer life, supported by a fraternal life in a community that serves the needy elderly in a family-like environment?

This is the life of a Little Sister of the Poor, living the spirit of our foundress, Saint Jeanne Jugan.  She has echoed these sentiments, “What happiness for us, to be a Little Sister of the Poor!”  We feel the same way today and we’re eager to share our joy with you.

Contact Sr. Georgia at vocnewark@littlesistersofthepoor.org or call 302-368-5886.

Steps you might take in discerning whether God is calling you to follow Saint Jeanne Jugan as a Little Sister of the Poor:

• Check out our national website to read more about our consecrated life and our mission of hospitality to the elderly poor.
• Arrange to visit us for Mass at 11:00 a.m. or at 5:30 p.m. for evening prayer and a tour of our home at Jeanne Jugan Residence
• Volunteer your time with the elderly
• Attend one of our discernment retreats. Several are held at different locations around the country throughout the year
