In the Parable of the Talents (Matthew, 25), Jesus tells us of a master who entrusted three servants each with a certain amount of treasure.  Two invested their portion wisely and returned additional earnings, while the third buried his share in the ground, where it profited no one.  Returning, the master rebuked the timid servant but praised the others, saying to them, "Well done, thou good and faithful servant."

The Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina
seeks to be a good and faithful servant.

In keeping with the social teachings of the Catholic Church and the mission of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, the Foundation will use its own strengths and resources to mobilize the resources of others, confront the fundamental causes of poverty and reduce its impact in the state.

The Foundation has undertaken a long-term commitment, which involves much more than making grants.  Through collaborative efforts with others, we seek to gather and disseminate knowledge, mobilize resources of individuals and communities and develop systemic approaches that will inspire others to follow God's purposes and be themselves, "good and faithful servants."

MISSION

The Sisters of Charity Foundation of South Carolina is a public foundation dedicated to furthering the mission, ministry and purpose of the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine and to personalizing Catholic values by action, advocacy and leadership.
