The Daughters of Charity are a religious order of nuns founded in France by St. Vincent de Paul to serve the needs of the poor. They taught school, nursed in hospitals, cared for orphans when these services were not widely available except to the rich. They were founded in America by St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Emmitsburg, MD about 200 years ago.
