Our Friends the Little Sisters of the Poor refers to the beloved international Catholic order founded by Saint Jeanne Jugan in 1839, dedicated to serving the elderly poor with dignity, offering them a home, care, and companionship until the end of life, relying on God's providence and the support of generous benefactors, friends, volunteers, and collaborators. They operate homes globally, providing food, shelter, medical care, and emotional support, welcoming all elderly regardless of faith, and embodying the mission of welcoming Christ in the needy.
