Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth Recognized as Saint Marians of the Year

To be a Saint Marian means to be of service – one striving to follow in the footsteps of Saint Vincent de Paul, observing the needs of others, and figuring out a way to meet them. Saint Marians give of themselves without looking for praise or admiration. 

In its centennial year, the University of Saint Mary was proud to honor our founders and sponsors, the Sisters of Charity of Leavenworth. The Sisters were recognized as the 2023 Saint Marians of the Year during the 20th Annual SpireFest on April 22 at the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza.

“The Sisters of Charity have made us who we are,” University President Sister Diane Steele said. “We are the outgrowth of the original mission of the Sisters of Charity. We are grateful for their mission that shapes our mission and everything we do.”
