Kia ora, bula vinaka, mālō e lelei, greetings! Welcome to the official Facebook page of the Sisters of Compassion - Ngā Whaea O Pūaroha, Aotearoa New Zealand's only indigenous Catholic religious order.
The Sisters of Compassion, also known as the Daughters of Our Lady of Compassion, was founded by Suzanne Aubert at Jerusalem - Hiruhārama on the Whanganui River in 1892.
For more than a century the sisters have taught, nursed, and provided homes for children, the sick and the elderly in New Zealand and the South Pacific.
The sisters are committed to delivering "compassionate care" throughout the community by providing meals, food, and basic needs to those who have very little, caring for the elderly, and providing individual and family support.
The sisters and the staff and volunteers they inspire provide compassionate care in four main centres in New Zealand:
- In Wellington City, the Compassion Centre includes the city's soup kitchen.
- In Island Bay, Our Lady's Home of Compassion is our congregation's main office as well as being a conference and retreat centre. It is also home to the Suzanne Aubert Heritage Centre.
- In Heretaunga, St Joseph's Home of Compassion rest home and hospital is a care facility for elderly people which also caters for people with dementia.
- In Upper Hutt, Compassion Housing provides 90 houses for elderly people at a discounted rate.
The sisters also run the Chanel Home of Compassion in Fiji for the elderly and those with disabilities.
