Denver, Colo., Apr 28, 2023 / 15:10 pm The Sisters of Charity of New York, founded in 1846, announced that they will no longer take new members, describing their congregation as on “a path to completion.”

“The Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul of New York will no longer work toward finding nor accepting new members to our congregation in the United States,” the congregation said in an April 27 statement.

In a unanimous vote at their 2023 general assembly, the sisters decided to adopt the recommendations of the congregation’s executive council.

The delegates approved the recommendation to affirm that the New York sisters “continue to live our mission to the fullest, while acknowledging that we are on a path to completion.”

“The decision was not an easy one,” said the congregation, which has 154 sisters. “We will continue to grow in love. We will continue to deepen our relationships with each other, with our associates and with our ministry partners. We will continue to deepen our relationship with our God.”

The Sisters of Charity Federation of North America has 14 member congregations, including the New York body. The federation website gives inconsistent membership figures, reporting that there are 1,871 to 2,500 sisters among its member congregations. CNA sought clarification from the federation but did not receive a response by publication.

The only nuns we’ll be left with are Bergolio’s lesbian “nuns on a bus”.

“We will continue to deepen our relationship with our God.”

That statement is a bit troubling.

Like nun birth control.

Everybody else is doing it.

Continuing with the deconstruction of the Church. Maybe Reagan should not have collapsed the USSR. With USSR as the perennial enemy the communists were limited in their reach. Now they control most of everything in the West.

Bergoglio will be pleased.

“We will continue to grow in love. We will continue to deepen our relationships with each other, with our associates and with our ministry partners. We will continue to deepen our relationship with our God.”

Yeah, priorities.
