Becoming an SCL Associate
SCL Associates
SCL Associates are persons who share in the charism, mission and spirit of the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Community. While they don’t profess vows, SCL Associates make formal commitments and strive to live the Gospel values. Many who seek the SCL Associate relationship come with a Vincentian heart, eager to embrace the charism given for the whole Church to Vincent de Paul, Louise de Marillac, Mother Xavier Ross, and all who have followed their example.
SCL Associate Mission Statement
Impelled by the love of Christ, we strive to make a difference as we pray, serve with joy,
act with justice, build community and care for all creation.
