For the Anglican religious order of this name, see [[Sisters of Charity (Anglican)]]'' Many religious communities, have the term '''Sisters of Charity''' as part of their name. Most derive ultimately from the [[Congregation of the Daughters of Charity]], founded on [[November 29]], [[1633]] by Saint [[Vincent de Paul]]. The rule of Saint Vincent for the Daughters of Charity has been adopted and adapted by at least sixty founders of religious orders around the world in the subsequent centuries. While most ''Sisters of Charity'' communities refer to the Vincentian tradition, and in America to the tradition of Saint [[Elizabeth Ann Seton]] those links are by no means universal. It is important to recognize that there may be no "family" or historical relationship between groups having the phrase ''Sisters of Charity'' as part of their name. Many groups calling themselves ''Sisters of Charity'' have founded and operate educational institutions, hospitals and orphanages: *[[Sisters of Charity of Our Lady of Evron]] *[[Sisters of Charity of New York]] *[[Sisters of Charity of the Blessed Virgin Mary]] *[[Sisters of Charity of Jesus and Mary]] *[[Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth]] *[[Sisters of Charity of Saint Elizabeth]], [[Convent Station, New Jersey|Convent Station]], [[New Jersey]] *[[Grey Nuns]], The Order of Sisters of Charity of the Hôpital Général, of Montreal *[[Sisters of Charity of Nevers]] See also: [[Sisters of Charity Federation in the Vincentian-Setonian Tradition]] *[[Sisters of Charity of Halifax]], [[Halifax, Nova Scotia]] [[Category:Roman Catholic orders and societies]]
