“The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati is an apostolic Catholic community of women religious that exists to carry out the Gospel of Jesus Christ through service and prayer in the world” (qtd. in “About the Sisters of Charity”). The Sisters are led by their mission statement to be “[u]rged by the love of Christ and in the spirit of [their] founder, Elizabeth Ann Seton, [the] Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati strive to live Gospel values. [They] choose to act justly, to build loving relationships, to share [their] resources with those in need, and to care for all creation” (qtd. in “Mission Statement”). Through this mission, they dedicate themselves to “the education of children, care of orphans, the poor and the sick” (qtd. in “Sisters of Charity Cincinnati”). These values are exemplified in numerous ways but specifically have been shown with the creation of educational institutions, orphanages, and their selflessness during the civil war.

When Christmas comes around, it’s time for all the different types of charities to come out. The Salvation Army is one of them; they are out everywhere looking for people to give money. When they are ringing the bell, people do not ask what does this support. They are instantly digging in their pockets, wallets, and purses to find loose change. When they find coins or dollar bills, they just put them in the red bucket and keep on walking. Why do people do this? People should research charities before giving because the money may not be spent on what the charity says, may not reach the people in need, or could just go to waste.

The establishment of the American Red Cross dates back to 1881, though its roots lie in Europe where due to Swiss entrepreneur Jean Henri Dunant and jurist Gustave Moynier’s trials representatives of 12 states and kingdoms signed the first Geneva Convention on August 22, 1864. The convention became a foundation of the International Red Cross.

They let in alcoholics, morphine addicts, and other "undesirables" unwelcome in polite Christian society. Then, the Booths started their own Christian church. They believed in not drinking, smoking, or taking drugs of any kind. The soldiers wear a uniform tailored to the state of they work. As the Salvation grew, they gained some unwanted attention by the Skelton Army. They threw bones, rats, and tar to physically assault the members of the Army.

Catherine Foster can only try to do what she knows is right for every living human she can help, but even though she tries, she lacks the ability to do all that she sees fit to be done. If Catherine lived in today’s time she would have had the power to give to whomever she see fit to receive and she would be accepted and even celebrated for her gift of intellect. Catherine is a very good hearted woman that could do a lot for the world, we are all, deep down at least, good hearted people that can do a lot of good for the world; if we only had the strength to do
