The Society of Sisters for the Church was founded in Paterson, New Jersey by Sister Eileen Kelly, PVBM, who at that time was Vicar for Religious of the Diocese of Paterson. The community was a response to the interest of a number of religious women who were leaving traditional communities, but wanted to continue to live a vowed life fashioned on the example of the women of the early Church.

 

 
We witness to the presence of Christ and we bring the Good News of the Gospel to all people according to the signs of the times.  We live in a simple manner, but do not live a common life.  We are supported in our dedication by one another and the people we serve.
