FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EMMITSBURG, MD ~ September 4, 2007
The Daughters of Charity Emmitsburg Province has unveiled the new version of their web site as an essential means for public relations, particularly targeting those who are discerning their vocation.  For many years, the Daughters have had a presence on the internet that reflected the simplicity of their ministries and highlighted their service to those who are poor. Now, the Daughters’ web site holds the same message, but has become more interactive by sharing vocation stories, newsletters, podcasts, and more.

"We want to share the story with those who are not familiar with the Daughters of Charity, especially to the youth and to those who want to learn how to serve the poor," said Lori Stewart, Director of Communications for the Daughters of Charity Emmitsburg Province. Along with the new version, the Daughters have a new web site address: www.thedaughtersofcharity.org.

A few of the many new features are:

• "Discovering God’s Call" Vocations Survey
  Exploring questions such as "How do I know what God wants me to do with my life?" this survey prompt those discerning to find the answers. The survey also provides information to the Vocation Director so she will understand the discerner’s depth of her call to consecrated life.
• Urgent Prayer Requests
  This section invites the user to send the Daughters his or her urgent prayer request and offers the flexibility to share special intentions or comments.
• Prayer Room
  This page offers weekly meditations from St. Vincent de Paul, St. Louise de Marillac, and St. Elizabeth Ann Seton.

"The new site provides quick links to our other web sites: Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton’s Shrine and the Seton Legacy of Charity 2009 Bicentennial," said Stewart. The site will continue to be updated with tools such as online donations and printable Mass cards in the near future.
