About
Little Sisters of the Poor, Pittsburgh
The humble beginnings of the Little Sisters of the Poor started with an unselfish act by their Blessed Foundress Jeanne Jugan in 1839 in Brittany France. Jeanne Jugan carried Ann Chauvion, a poor, old, abandoned, paralyzed blind woman up the stairs of her home and placed her in her bed. All her life Jeanne Jugan believed she was an instrument in God's hands. She believed serving the elderly poor was part of God's plan for her. She believed God would provide the daily needs. She took a basket in her arms and went knocking on people's doors asking for the provisions she needed for her "little family."
