A Celebration of Service: Sister Alice Marie Quinn’s 90th Birthday and the Enduring Mission of the Daughters of Charity

As we celebrate Sister Alice Marie Quinn’s 90th birthday anniversary, we honor her remarkable life and the founding of St. Vincent Meals on Wheels (SVMOW) nearly 50 years ago, alongside the enduring mission of the Daughters of Charity, established over 400 years ago by St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac.

The Daughters of Charity have a rich history of serving the poor and vulnerable, driven by compassion, humility, and respect for human dignity. Their faith-based values inspire them to tackle social injustices and provide vital services to marginalized communities worldwide.

Sister Alice Marie embodied these values, founding SVMOW to deliver nutritious meals and companionship to the homebound. Her work reflects the Daughters’ belief that every act of service, no matter how small, can make a significant difference.

The Daughters of Charity remain dedicated to supporting Los Angeles’s most vulnerable populations, fostering a lifelong commitment to service that inspires new leaders within the community.

As we reflect on Sister Alice Marie’s contributions, we also look forward to the future of the Daughters of Charity. Their commitment to compassion and social justice ensures they will continue to be a source of hope for generations to come.

We invite you to support the vital work of the Daughters of Charity by contributing to the Sister Alice Marie Quinn Legacy Society. Your gift, whether a bequest or planned donation, will sustain their mission and honor Sister Alice Marie’s legacy. Together, we can create lasting change for those in need.
