A vocation to the Little Sisters of the Poor is a unique call from God to live for Him alone. As Little Sisters of the Poor, we serve and care for the elderly poor in the spirit of humble service which we have received from Saint Jeanne Jugan. We welcome the elderly as we would Jesus Christ Himself and serve them with love and respect until God calls them to Himself.
If you think God might be calling you to give yourself totally to Him in the religious life, we’d love to accompany you along the discernment journey. For more information contact us at 773-935-9600 or vcchicago@littlesistersofthepoor.org
