Bringing God\u2019s Compassion, Healing and Liberation to People in Need<\/h5>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

As Sisters of Bon Secours, healing is at the heart of our ministry. Healing may look like taking care of people who are sick in the hospital or in their homes or taking care of the environment. It may look like standing up to injustice. It always looks like spreading the message of God\u2019s love. Learn more about what we do as Sisters of Bon Secours below.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Health Care Ministry<\/a><\/h6>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

We are called to minister to the sick and dying. Centuries after the first Sisters of Bon Secours in France began caring for the sick and dying in their homes, we are blessed to continue their mission with hospitals, health clinics, home health services, hospice and community programs around the globe. The Sisters of Bon Secours are one of the sponsoring congregations of Bon Secours Mercy Health, which operates 60 hospitals across the United States and Ireland and provides community health and support services in the areas it serves.

International Associate Ministry<\/a><\/h6>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

“A Place for All” across the world, our Bon Secours Associates help spread the healing mission of Jesus Christ. Not all people are called to become a sister and live a vowed religious lifestyle. Associates grow and deepen their faith life through their bond with the sisters and their commitment to the Associate community. They play an important role in supporting the sisters’ mission through outreach, service and prayer.

Advocacy<\/a><\/h6>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Our mission calls us to defend creation and cry out against injustice. Our International Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Committee (JPIC) guides us as we speak out against global and country-specific issues and work for systemic change through education and advocacy.

Bon Secours Volunteer Ministry (United States only)<\/a><\/h6>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

The volunteer ministry provides the opportunity for young adults to participate in the sisters\u2019 commitment to justice in radical solidarity with the poor, the suffering and those most in need. The ministry volunteers carry this spirit forward in Baltimore, Maryland, and Richmond, Virginia, where they live as neighbors and serve in ministry placements that improve the public health of their communities.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
