HIGH POINT — The Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul recently celebrated their silver jubilee of serving in High Point.
A Mass of Thanksgiving was celebrated at St. Vincent’s Convent Oct. 14, offered by Father James Stuhrenberg, pastor of Holy Family Parish in Clemmons. A fellowship meal followed at the convent.
Fueled by prayer and the sacraments, the Sisters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul have poured themselves out for families in need in the Triad since being assigned to the Diocese of Charlotte in 2000, when they moved from their native India.
The sisters serve at Christ the King Mission in High Point, where among their many duties they take Communion to those in the hospital or homebound.
They also teach religious education at three parishes and run a community outreach ministry called De Paul Academy, which prepares immigrant children to start school at the right age.
