We welcomed 11 new members to our Association Jeanne Jugan (AJJ) here in Scranton. The AJJ, named in honor of our Foundress, St. Jeanne Jugan, serves as a lay apostolate that shares in the spiritual riches of the Little Sisters by participating in their mission of hospitality to the elderly poor.
Following a one-year formation program, members help to spread the spirit of St. Jeanne Jugan by developing a lively faith and confidence in Divine Providence, a personal love for Jesus recognized in the aged poor, and a spirit of praise. The AJJ serve as an extension of the Little Sisters’ work by participating in the pastoral, recreational, and cultural activities in their home.
