Our History (Ladies of Charity USA)
The Ladies of Charity is an organization of Catholic lay women volunteers that was founded by St. Vincent de Paul in 1617. He mentioned in a sermon the situation of an entire family in the parish who were all ill and in dire need of help. As a result, there was an outpouring of charity so spontaneous and abundant that the family was overwhelmed with food and visitors. Viewing the abundance of food and provisions he realized that the family would have too many provisions at one time that some would be spoiled and wasted.
He called a meeting of women of the area and suggested that they band together to carry out this good work. They agreed to form an association in which each would take their turn in serving the poor corporally and spiritually. Thus, the founding of the Ladies of Charity. By December 8, 1617, the first association of Ladies of Charity was canonically erected. All subsequent associations were established with the approval of the Pope. St. Vincent chose Louise de Marillac, his devoted cooperatrix to visit the associations and see that they were properly organized, and that work was performed in the right spirit. On March 11, 1934, Pope Pius XI canonized Louise and proposed her as a model for the Ladies of Charity.
The first association in the United States was formed by Catherine Harkins in St. Louis on December 8, 1857.
