Advancing the Mission: Strategic Plan 2024-2026
As we embark on a new year, the Sisters of Charity Foundation is excited to implement new strategies and focus areas while strengthening and refining our current strategic goals. We announced our 2024-2026 Strategic Plan late last year, and we are springboarding into 2024 with hope, enthusiasm, and continued dedication to our community. Follow us this year as we continue to advance our vision and mission, furthering the mission and ministry in the spirit of our founders, the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, through strategic, focused, and intentional giving.
