Care of Creation
Headwaters at Incarnate Word
To early indigenous peoples, the springs were called Yanaguana, which in the Coahuiltecan language means “Spirit Waters,” or “up-flowing waters of the Spirit.”
As Sisters, we denounce human trafficking
MIRN (Migrants, Immigrants and Refugees)
We are a congregational effort supporting migrants, immigrants, and refugees in Peru, Mexico, the United States, and anywhere a CCVI Sister is present. With a multidisciplinary team, we develop projects and interventions to educate our congregational family and inspire “agents of change.” United by a passion to build a world where everyone has a place to live, grow, and thrive, we follow the Incarnate Word and courageously raise our voices for justice and dignity.
The Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word is a Congregation founded by immigrants for immigrants. We believe that all persons are worthy of respect and they should be protected in their human rights.
